It's 10 PM and Grace is trying to dance the can-can (or something) on the ceiling. This has just given me a fascinating idea for a drawing. Evil chuckle.
About Grace: Picture a dragon. Then make her gold, eight inches long and give her a sarcastic sense of humour. Then imagine her dancing on ceilings to boot. Heh. I think she's a lot like me.
Not many of my posts are likely to be particularly serious or philosophical but rest assured that such things often cross my mind. (Check out freedom-muse.blogspot.co.uk for philosophy) This is possibly an exception.
Inspiration is something that does not obey the whims of humanity. It comes and goes as it pleases; but I like to think of it as a subtle creature, on a radar that not everyone easily tunes into. If you were to go out and wait for inspiration, perhaps it would come and perhaps it would not. Perhaps just seeing something triggers a flash of an idea that blossoms into flower, so that you feel the overwhelming urge to sketch or scribble immediately.
When you are having difficulty tuning in to inspiration, there are many things that sometimes help, a little bit like honey to attract insects. What does inspiration like? Music, and words, and the natural beauty that lies all around us. Go out, immerse yourself in inspiration up to the neck and see if it decides to pay you a call.
A long hot shower can work too.
