Sitting Alone - 6 Daily Habits for Artists

Winter for me is a time of sketching, mulling, incubating and pinning.  

A thousand ideas vie for my attention and I try to hold them all in my mind's eye and not choose, allowing them to form their own patterns.

​I am wary of releasing them into the world before they are fully-formed, it distorts the process.

​I love to share but even that has its season. Right now, the hatches are still battened down.

​Instead I offer you a poem and a quote.
​

Winter

Withdrawal
Senses turned inward
Whirling
Kaleidoscope mind

Sewing and sowing
Microscopic embryos
Germinating
Wrapped in
Dark, warm, intuition

Unable to formulate
Intelligible sentences
Images come fast
And strong

Have YOU sat alone today?
