This will change you and your art

Ever notice you become bored
in your art and life if things stays the
same for too long?

We feel alive when something different
shows up. It happens when the sun shines
after a week of overcast days. It can
happen by adding a bright pink color
to a drab grey painting,

In life and art, however, the edges,
the place where one thing changes
to the next is especially potent.
Where that drab grey suddenly shifts
to bright pink is a visually powerful spot.
So is where the deep blue of
a sky meets a sparkly sea.

It took me 8 days lost in the middle
of the ocean to learn this. But you don’t
have to. I can just show you now.

You can more easily improve your art
once you know that edges are where
the visual potency resides.

Try paying attention to the transitions
between different areas in your art.
Make them juicy. In other words,
let the viewers (and you) feel
enlivened by change.

Do you pay attention to the
edges in your art?
