Thursday Thoughts...

"To draw you must close your eyes and sing"

Pablo Picasso

A draw-er nor a singer am I; however I love this notion of closing one's eyes and being carried away by the beauty of music.

This quote brings me a sense of playfulness; and of freedom; and adventure in a way.  It seems to me that Picasso brings to his drawing a real sense of joy, and of joyful abandon.

Sometimes when trying to solve an artistic challenge, I think too hard and ponder heavily. Perhaps what I need to do in those moments is close my eyes and get carried away with a song and see what happens next!
