Fuel\u00a0 and preserve passion for work\u00a0by taking\u00a0a healthy break from it. \u00a0Even artists need a vacation.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0was my intention, leaving paints & brushes behind on a recent journey retracing our roots with my brother & father,<\/p>\n

Yet surprisingly, my artistic history emerged in remarkable ways.\"dawn<\/a><\/p>\n

Read about this and the inspiring, influential place that helped shape me as an artist, in a future post.<\/p>\n

While traveling, I have been reading \u201cRising Strong<\/a>\u201d \u00a0(Brene Brown<\/a>)\u00a0and\u00a0 \u201cTalented is Overrated<\/a>\u201d(Geoff Colvin<\/a>)\u00a0in the midst of watching inspiring\u00a0Olympics.<\/p>\n

Remarkable similarities exist between sport & art with notable parallels how athletes & artists approach training, commitment, and development.\u00a0Science continues to prove benefits of creativity within humanity, in sport and otherwise.<\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s work expresses creativity plays an important role in coping with\u00a0failure and obstacles in \u201cRising Strong”. Colvin makes a convincing case for deliberate practice, in \u201cTalented is Overrated\u201d.<\/p>\n

Reflections on these subjects and the story of my journey to follow soon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, requests for northern shore and canoe paintings flood in. Fortunately, subject matter I never tire of. :0)<\/p>\n

Watch for these developments on your social networks. Now<\/strong> on Instagram<\/a>(@Dawnartworks), Linked IN<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a>.\u00a0and FB<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Creative juices infused from my adventure, it\u2019s a flurry of activity in the studio these days.<\/p>\n

May summer journeys invigorate you & renew your sense of self, perhaps with a few surprising discoveries along the way.<\/strong>~<\/p>\n

Note: The Canadian north is a popular subject among painters & poets for good reason. It\u2019s breathtaking.<\/p>\n

In northern Ontario, rocky shorelines forged by powerful windy lakes cradle windswept pine.<\/p>\n

For lack of a better word, the landscape feels brave.\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s unapologetic & awe inspiring.<\/p>\n

Years ago, plien air painting on a frosty day in winter, I created two little pieces that encompassed technical freedom I have been yearning to capture in the work. It was due to absolutely frozen numb hands, limited frozen paints and one overused brush.\"DSC05659\"<\/a>\"DSC05827\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ever since, I have been trying to evolve the work to exhibit this kind of passionate rawness.<\/p>\n

Think of it as getting to the point with fewer words.<\/p>\n

The landscape painting is\u00a0less illustrative, focusing on how it feels to be in the midst of that power & beauty.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0The new northern paintings have elements of this ruggedness, mood & power.
