"Rain" part II

"Haven´t I seen this before?" you might think. The answer is yes, and no. This is a different version of my painting called "Rain". In this version I wanted to create the feeling of beeing under the tree, protected from the rain that is pouring down around you.

Don´t underestimate "imperfection"

Today I´d like to complement my last post about creativity by saying that "imperfections" has a very important role to play in a creative process. The "imperfections" not only inspire us to think outside the box, but also sometimes is a part of the perfect art itself. Imperfection complements perfection and vice versa!

I was watching google's interview with Lady Gaga today and she got the question: What is the greatest piece of advise you've ever recieved?
She answers:

"If you don't have any shadows, you're not standing in the light."

I think that sentence summarizes what I'm trying to say just perfectly!

Use all your senses to create!

I was on a shopping tour the other day and came across this beautiful handcrafted ceramic vase. It's amazing what we can create when we combine all our senses! We use our eyes to find interesting shapes and beautiful colors. We let sounds and music inspire us in the process and we use our hands to create objects that reflects our innermost feelings.

The creator of the vase is Tina Hellman and you can check out more of her beautiful work by following the link below:

The beauty of math

I´m currently trying to learn such a fun thing as signalanalysis (in doubt it´s ever going to happen). It looks pretty cool though! All the squiggles (funny word) signs and numbers is like an artform of its own.

Finally I have to quote my teacher:

"If you can choose multiple paths to solve a problem, choose the easiest path for God's sake!"

Don´t let anybody drag you down

Have you ever felt that other people is draging you down? Don´t let them! Believe in yourself no matter what other people tell you what you can or can not do. I´m afraid that there will always be some people who are negative to everything they do. And like that´s not enough, they seems to enjoy dragging you down with them!

On the other hand there are those people that always cheer you up and see things from the bright side. Listen to those people instead! Together you can brighten things up!

Northern lights will brighten your day!

 I have to be honest with you, I had a really crappy day today. You know what I am talking about, we have all been there. But when the day ends like on the pictures above you just have to put a smile on your face. An amazing show created by nature itself just for you!
