Creatively Thinking

  Featured image:   Soulful Jazz Singer “Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.” “Everything is energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can not help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” "I am happy because I want nothing from anyone. I do not care about money. Decorations, titles or distinctions mean nothing to me. I do not crave praise. I claim credit for nothing. A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future."  Albert Einstei n The Individual: Americas Heart & Soul Individualism, the rights of people, all people is a sovereign right in the United States.  The creative process belongs to a single individual creator.  We all learn from others that have created before us.  We are taught how to think and how to create from those who have come before us.

  Featured image:   Poppies and Roses In your art, are you process or product oriented?  How you answer that question makes a big big difference in what you create. Process involves you and who you are. Product involves what others think you are and your need to have them think positively about you. Process changes, evolves and grows. Product changes with popularity. Process involves independence. Product does not.

  Visions personal and intimate. Visions often can be linked to what we sense and feel. A vision happens before reason jumps in and changes where vision can play. Visions can give you a personal sense of how the world should work Featured image: Visions Are Like Maps https://christinealfery.com/products/visions-are-like-maps
