Turbulent times

God is our refuge and strength a helper who is always found in times of trouble

Therefore we will not be afraid though the earth trembles and the mountains topple into the depth of the seas though its water roars and foams and the mountain quake with its turmoil. There is a river its streams delight the city of God the holy dwelling place of the most high .God is within her; she will not be toppled God will help her when the morning dawns Nations rage,Kingdom topple the earth melts when he lifts his voice...Psalms 46.

How do we pass through these turbulent unsettling and wild times as an artist when all that we hear is death and more contamination.Finding time for the one who made us is important and all of us find him in different ways some in their daily chores others in their songs, passages, paints,  work and thoughts.

Knowing your tools

What is it that stops one from working on their craft, family responsibility otherworldly stuff. I don't know all I know is there is always a struggle there are things that hold you back and stops you to go back to the studio. The most critical part of an artist is not only to know what they are creating but also to synchronously work with the tools and materials in hand. Create a relationship with them that is gonna last their lifetime. Sometimes when an artist stops working they kinda lose the skills that they had crafted and over a time period.

The challenge here to give time and work a little bit everyday no matter what and say hello as often as we can to the materials. They are like close friends you lose touch and suddenly one day you call and talk for hours. The craft is important and the idea of art is also very important. One needs to understand first where is coming from and what does it trying to say.
