To Be Free


to be creatively free


is a blessing


it is a swirl of the spirit


it is colors that overlap


it is the ability to express how you feel


in ways that seem flowing to you


like leaves that


blow in the wind


with no apparent destination
I decided to try and paint what creativity would look
like, this is what I came up with, kind of like peacock
feathers..........Christy

Hi christy, i really do like your paintings. they alawys have meaning and show how you feel when you are painting them. i love that you can express your feelings like that.

i would love to be able to paint but it never comes out right. at the moment i've got an image in my head that won't go away i think i have to try to paint it. it is of an aboriginal man looking into the distance with his spear by his side dressed only in an animal skin he is staring into the distance and behind him is his country men dancing around a fire dancing for their land to come back to them. it represents a time when they actually did do that because the miners were destroy sacred sites of the aboriginals. they got their land back. sorry i'm waffling on abit.

love your work.

Hi, Christy,
I really like this painting a lot. The colors are beautiful and it's very emotional...it does look like creativity feels! Keep it up.

Gypsy-
This painting took me longer than any of the others. It is harder to paint creativity than I thought. LOL
Love,
