Confidence In Life Confidence in Art

I had a gentleman tell me one time Fran, the art that sticks with people is the art that is done with confident strong powerful strokes with the energy to back them up. There’s also a quote in the Bible, Hebrews 10, Verse 35, So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. (New International Version, 1984©) I love this message!


A contemporary example of outstanding confidence is the Rock Star Pink. She is so inspiring! Pink writes what she knows and she performs without fear. A circus performer at her best, she performs with wild abandon that rocks her world and the millions who love her and her music! Stretching her limits, taking great risks! This is a perfect example in my view of what we are to do in life. When we do this we can accomplish greatness in whatever our calling is in this world.

My best paintings are painted in this manner. I go to that deepest honest spot emotionally to bring something out of my soul that is real and true. This process can be exhilarating or it can be painful. It can be painstakingly tedious and seeming without end. But in the end, if I persevere, something beautiful emerges voilà on the canvas that I am satisfied within myself. Some of my best work has actually been a gift. It just emerges and I flow with it like being on a journey. Perhaps as if led down a path to an enchanted secret garden that sparkles in moonlight.

Malcolm Gladwell wrote in his book, Outliers: The Story of Success a chapter about the 10,000-hour rule. His observations were that you need 10,000 hours to be a phenom. Also, some other interesting points he makes:

In fact, by the age of twenty, the elite performers (violinists) had each totaled ten thousand hours of practice. — p. 38

The emerging picture from such studies is that ten thousand hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world-class expert—in anything, writes the neurologist Daniel Levitin. — P. 40

To become chess grandmaster also seems to take about ten years. (Only the legendary Bobby Fisher got to that elite level in less than that amount of time: it took him nine years.) And what’s ten years? Well, it’s roughly how long it takes to put in ten thousand hours of hard practice. Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness. — p. 41

When an artist can stand in front of the canvas and paints from a totally honest spot in body and soul, intentions may be realized through paint placed on the canvas. The painter’s job is to impart the painting that comes through her intellect, emotions as well as experiences and manifests itself on to the canvas in the form of art.

An artist is blessed with the ability to sway a person’s emotions with a visual creation. Artists that I admire Matisse, Picasso, Chagall, Mathew Smith, Van Gogh – what makes their paintings great is the inner essence of the artists soul that is shared with no reservations to the world! Once these great artists completed a painting that they considered good, the painting is then in the eyes of the viewer to interpret what she sees in the art. Art is then for the pleasure of being interpreted by the viewer. If a viewer asks me what were you thinking when you painted this painting? What does this painting mean to you? I might respond, how does this painting make you feel? What do you see in the painting?

Why do we like a particular piece of art? A painting may invoke in us a certain feeling or remembrance that we can as individuals relate to in some way. Why do we see the sadness in a particular painting, where another person comes along and sees only joy and happiness in that same piece of art? We as the viewer are drawing our own conclusion and experience transfixed by the vibrations and soul of the man or woman who painted the work.

Pink, a remarkable vocal and visual artist, works tirelessly to produce and perform her rock concerts. Flying high over audiences singing with deep passion the songs that she has written out of heart ache, despair, sexual feelings intensity and love this is why millions of people flock to by her CD’s and thousands to her performances. She is being real taking chances living on the edge preforming with precision what she has envisioned in her own soul.

Here’s to being Confident in the inner knowing of what is right for us in our own lives.

Filled with inner confidence we can strive to great heights!

Bye for now
