I just had an epiphany concerning creating artwork. Just in the same sense that some individuals need to set the mood before making love, I need to set the mood before I can create art . . .

When it comes to sex, sometimes some people can just drop their clothes and get to business. But sometimes, you have to set the mood to entrance your partner. This can include dimming the lighting, playing some sensual music, maybe even lighting some incense and candles. While I don’t create a kinky environment to create my artwork, the same theory applies. Lighting is important. Inspirational music is important. Even a little ritual of lighting a candle can help out. While yes, I should be able to drop my drawers and pull out my brushes on a moments notice, it is the act of transcending ourselves from everyday life to something extraordinary that makes a difference.
