The beginning of creation.
An empty canvass.
That is all it takes.
To start a work of art.
In the simplest of ways.
In the most complicated of forms.
It comes out.
Because the mind is capacious.
So it creates.

A dream within a dream
About Me
- . : A : .
- There is a magic in the air that permeates through the very soul of my existence. There is a stillness in the night that floods my senses beyond my imagination. There is a madness inside of me that overflows in everything that I create. There is a past behind me that is overcrowded with memories that drain me out.

One does not need an empty canvas always... to create.....an old canvas can be reused...sometimes...past paving the way for future ....maybe comin back disguised...
a blank canvas is a good thing...it will be untouched by others...u can let ur imagination run wild...untainted...
for some reason rusty's remark reminded me of books - i love new books... untouched.. untainted.. their fresh smell.. but then i love ol' books - the yellow pages.. the ol' odor... the scribblings.. giving an insight to what the owner of the book felt... correlating, debating with the idea, thinking of new perspectives...
its an excitement ... mebbe of diff sorts.. with both old book/ old canvas.. new books/ empty canvas...
in both cases.. the mind always creates..things of endless possibilities... yup it's truly capacious :)
Hmmmmm...
is it the canvas that beckons?
is it the thoughts that want to be
one with the canvas?
Sometimes I feel creation is just emptiness in motion...
ultimately both are beautifuland powerful!
Hmm
ah, such a beautiful shot...love the inherent atmosphere...the mellow light...the words complementing it...
wow love this picture! i like the bright colors and the combinations.
nice words too!
Mind is infinitely empty, capacious is a nook thats all!
Ubermensch
beautiful warm touchable colors in this photo. very interesting and delightful to think about.
your words draw me back to my own space...they beg me to come to meditation to explore so much untapped capacity. inevitably after spending time there my world creates...
what wisdom you offer for pondering...
You've captured the beginning of any creation so well here: a blank page, or a canvas, or a melody, or an experiment, or an idea.
Sometimes the idea is old, sometimes it is new. I find that it is old, and constantly reshaped and redefined by experiences, especially the ones we accept. The ones we fight are the ones that get buried beneath "new" ideas, which are really old ones.
I dont know about others, and certainly my mind is not, but yours is cerainly creative AND capracious.
Good job, like always!
from nothingness to everything.. thts wt creativity is..
oh that's a lovely space! What is the red? It's so out there and grabbing!!! I know you won't tell me where this gallery is, but tell me, it is a gallery right?
Excellent! I'll want to read this one every day.
a blank canvas is OK, imagine you have to do something to a canvas which has been paited badly... making it into a piece of art is mind boggling...
How blank will the canvas be with the help of a blank mind?
rusty - Yes, one does not need an empty canvass all the time.
-Poison- - And it is yours to create.
Ramchi - Interesting perspective. It is a mixture of both ways.
thoughts - Very interesting. I also love new books. I think it is the smell more than anything else.
Pincushion - Love the phrase "creation is just emptiness in motion".
Prerona - Hmm?
Anil, eden, patina, Phoenix - Thanks.
Ubermensch, Zee - :-)
finnegan - That is what brings out the bigness in creation.
feminine expressions - My pleasure.
mermaid - Thanks for sharing your thoughts, as always.
pinkblog78 - Profound.
jithU - Agree.
Phal - I think the red was a temporary wall paper. It caught my eye too. And yes, it is a gallery.
chaos - Guess it is.
J - Maybe both will get filled up in the process?
Very true
jawaher - Thanks. I don't know much about Chemistry though.
Sudarshan - Thanks.
looks gorgous!
"Because the mind is capacious.
So it creates."
Oh yes - completely agree with that!
As always the image and text fit like a hand in glove!
i like the colors in your pic.. the reds and yellows, kind of set the mood for beginning of a creative process, which you have written about..
painting a picture thru words.. or is it putting to words a picture?
Or a blank page, a spark, a dream
Wow we had cross connection over here...we seem to think a like check my post in June

Hope you don't mind I added your link
If only my blank canvasses would spark and engulf in wild flames for me to create! I need something emotional! You do a wonderful job of creating something out of nothing.
Everybody's already said what I wanted to so I am going to content myself with saying just how *awesome* I think the colours are.
Gorgeous shot, A! :)
nice :o) very well put.
"Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I'm not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands."
--Jeff Melvoin, Northern Exposure, "Fish Story", 1994
what is the picture of? Is that the start of your creation? Are you going all American and handy and DIY? Which is great! Sorry for this unpoetic appreciation-but still apprciative :)!
A canvas is never empty to an artist. The atrist sees it's final form even before touching it. All the artist does is make others see it too.
PS: It's been such a long time since i blogged/read blogs that i've been missing some of ur better posts.
