Seeking Inspiration - MotivationMonday

Seeking Inspiration

Seeking Inspiration is completely different than

Finding Inspiration.

Seeking is an action,

Finding is rather passive.

Seeking implies:

looking for,

needing,

wanting 

inspiration.

Finding inspiration,

almost sounds like it fell in your lap,

like it sort of showed up,

it was a happy accident.

(Thanks Bob Ross)

As artists, we need inspiration,

if only in the form of a beautiful color,

smooth shape,

or interesting composition.

Sometimes when we're struggling as artists,

we seek inspiration.

We want it,

we need it,

we seek it.

My son Kirk, is a falconer.

He currently has a Harris hawk named Lulu.

He trains her to hunt, return when he whistles,

and takes his children into the outdoors with him

 as he trains her. 

Saturday as Kirk and his sons were in a local park with Lulu,

a naturalist photographer happened by and took some fabulous photos of Lulu.

I'll share two photos here.

 Lulu landing on her perch.

I love this one of my son Kirk.

Inspiration comes in so many forms.

In this case, thanks to the work of Kirk and Lulu and the incredible talent of the photographer,

we are all inspired.

We are inspired by the beauty of Lulu and nature,

by the ability of the photographer to capture that beauty,

and then to share it with the world.

These photos are the copyrighted property of the photographer at Goat Sass Farm and are not to be used for 

painting reference.

But we can be inspired.

I hope you love this beauty as much as I do. 

Please leave a comment on what inspires you.
