the transfer, Monotype of the Day #279

Tonight's colors are more muted, I hope they come across if the photo. Thinking about the notion of intention in art. In the past, I've had grand plans but now my only intention is to show up, listen, and carry a message. More and more I feel like I am a glove on the hand of The Artist. Interestingly process is revivingly impersonal and, at the same time, intensely personal. By removing ego and understanding that it is the nature of creative purpose to flow through any vessel that opens for it, so much pressure is relieved. Art will come in it's own time if we just show up. But, the more the impersonal nature of the creative process is embraced, the most intensely personal and dear the experience of creating becomes. It is a deep and beautiful mystery. I am grateful for every moment of it.
