I was sitting here browsing thru the profiles and galleries of various painters throughout deviant art, and I had an epiphany. I think that I have finally figured out why it is that I have not really gotten into painting. For that matter, I have not done much beyond reproducing (or attempting to reproduce) only the things which I can see. I look through these galleries and I see such freedom of thought, and expressions, as though the brush and paint move on their own, and the artist is merely the conduit through which they move (and that is not to take ANYTHING away from the amazing talent). What is is, however, is a statement in regards to what has hindered me from unleashing my own creativity... I am AFRAID of it.

I let my logical mind confine me so much into making what is, that I have never allowed myself to delve into the dream of what COULD be! I have had all of these ideas swimming around in my head for ages... merely thoughts, but never really expressed, and definitely not released. It has occured to me that they WANT to get out! my procrastinating them, subduing them, never quenches them, it only makes them lie dormant, until the next wave. Can anybody tell me how to just "let go" as it were? Because I am really curious to see what might come out
