Hello friends this is Antries and welcome to another episode of the Savvy Painter podcast where we talk about making art, sharing art, selling art, all the things that we get to do in our art practice. So today I wanted to talk about

creativity. Big thunderstorm happening here in the background, so you might hear that.

Cracking of thunder and lightning as this podcast goes on. But today I wanted to talk a little bit

about creativity in the context of your art practice.

This will be a great episode to listen to

if you are feeling a little stuck,

feeling a little stuck, a little stagnated,

feeling like your work is getting a little bit repetitive,

or feeling like when you walk in your studio studio sometimes you just have no idea where to start or what to do first in this episode I will give you a few ideas to think about maybe a couple things to try out, and as always just give you some

sort of a path to move forward in your art if you're feeling stuck.

So there's the I think kind of like the standard way that we

think about creativity which is trying a new idea or doing something

unexpected and so idea or doing something unexpected.

And so I wanted to take the time today to talk a little bit about how we can create more creativity, if that makes sense. In my mind, what I have noticed is that creativity begets

creativity. So the more creative we are, the more creativity we have. I always like to connect the dots between some of the

philosophies that I have about art. So when I think about this idea that my art inherently has love for the art,

love for the craft and love for the artist who creates it.

So I think of that in the context of art that I'm looking at,

art that I'm seeing on Instagram, art that I'm seeing in a gallery,

art that I'm seeing in a museum, art that I'm seeing in a book.

I love to kind of look at it through that lens of really just loving the craft and the art of making art and

everything that goes into that.
