The Knack

This is what I notice of artist, when a person looks in the sky at the clouds at a painting, on a room and see shapes, meanings other than the literal, or patterns (literal and nonliteral) they have that knack for artistic expression.

the knack
by: Paul Baswell

when i was 5 i would color in my books never out side of the lines. even then i would be ceased by the idea that some how it was greater and more important to do it that way. i attached more significants to the perfectness of this application and later thees concepts took on great importance where by i began to feel that the marks on the pages had secondary meanings for me. i often look at the world around me as having hidden elements that i as an artist can see and interpret as important. i often point thees things out to my friends and family they really don't see the implication of my observations. i know in my hart that art is looking deeper and further in ways that are unique or novel. that by engaging in the act of creation i am bring to other a sens of creativity that they them selves my not be able to conduct in there own lives. hopefully endowing in them a great sens of the hidden beauty and interconnectedness of the world around them.

Color Comparisons
by: CMHdesign

When I'm out and about, I look not only at the shapes of things, but I find myself comparing colors in respect to their values, tones, etc. and accessing whether a particular scene or object would make a great painting. I catch myself doing this on a regular basis and it makes me realize just how much I enjoy my artistic knack.
