When you are an artist in your heart, it is an addiction. The addiction is not what I am creating…it is the actual act of creating.
In the act of creation…there is an “altered state of consciousness” if you have ever really gotten into your work….you know what I am talking about. I will be working on a piece and “lose time” I could not tell you if it has been 5 minutes or 5 hours! And then there are those magic times when in that altered state, art literally falls out of me! Things I have never done before easily develop on the canvas/paper as if they were just waiting to materialize. All they needed was my attention….talent, sketching, studies, planning are unnecessary.
I am hopelessly addicted; it is my drug of preference. There is no such thing as AA…(Artists Anonymous).
