Hi guys, so there's been ch-ch-ch-changes happening lately to me and my artful practice. There are multiple reasons for this, though perhaps it's somewhat more exhausting looking at the root of all the causes, rather than just going along with what's happening and making it right for you. If you have been a follower of mine for any length of time you may know I 100% believe in following your gut. I do it in my art, and I do it in my life. And I am doing so right now.
While I know I have many people wanting me to be 'on it, on it, on it' in terms of art, so they get some inspiration for their art (and that they may be the people worried by this vlog that that's gonna seize up) fear not, I'm not going anywhere...and I don't want you taking from this vlog that I am! I am simply being who I am, and from that can only ever come good things!
It may mean I physically put less paint to paper right now but who know what progress it will make me do in the future? - but one thing is for certain, it WILL make me progress. Being truthful to yourself and following your gut down your own path may not be a path of least resistance in terms of society, or what other people may expect of you, but it is a path of least resistance towards yourself...and from that can only come peace, and growth. So I see anything I am doing at the moment as growth in my art too, aren't I and it one and the same after all? Changes in ourselves reflect changes in our art whether we like it to, or intended it to, or not.
This is quite a ranty vlog I feel, still isn't that what a vlog is? It is the most personal I have done & explains my headspace right now...though I already feeling it changing back into art ~ as you might imagine it would lol ;)
Brilliant, this might sound strange but I had been thinking that "Jennibellie doesn't seem to have moved on much", and I'm so happy and excited for you that you are meditating and into crystals and stuff. I'm sure art, in some form or other will be with you for life and yes, follow your heart indeed, and I look forward to your future journeys (but if you never blogged again my life would still go on!)
ReplyDeletegreatly enjoyed this vlog Jenny. I am kind of in the same place lately so this was like a confirmation that "its all good" :-) Have an exquisite Festive Season! much love.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the good and the rants, its all important love the crystals, and looking forward to seeing you in lifebook 2014
ReplyDeleteI didn't think you were ranty at all! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's taken me long time to learn to listen to that inner voice that tells me that what I'm doing isn't right for me (at that moment). Now I've started to truly listen to it I rarely beat myself up for choosing another path. As long as I know I'm doing what's right for my heart. Thank you for the vlog. It was a nice reminder. Beautiful crystal too.
ReplyDeleteAwww...you know what, sweetie! As long as your happy...I'm happy! By the way, I think your outdoor studio is turning into a bit of a snug, isn't it? I can see sleepouts with the Sweeps with hot chocolate and marshmallows while the weather outside is frightful!!! *hugs* x
ReplyDeleteTo everything there is a season. At the moment your focus has moved onto an inward path, it seems. It's all good. I enjoy your videos and your art but I enjoy even more that you are listening to yourself. Creativity and artmaking doesn't abandon us - it just takes other forms that weave themselves throughout our lives. Wishing you the happiest of holidays. Feel free to take a break from artmaking and blogging. You've provided a plethora of material over the years and I am grateful for that.
ReplyDeleteJust want to say THANK YOU!!, I have learn alot from you. I will carry this with me forever..There is apart of you in all of us. That will live on, forever. You have spark a little art in all of us. Follow your heart, and
ReplyDeletedo what makes you happy. We all understand. If you do a blob or little video every once awhile. and spark your creativity to share, we all will be very Appricative..Don't make your self crazy trying to think of stuff to creat.That will become a JOB!! And jobs are no fun..
((hugs)),and kisses..
