How to stay on track and constantly have a goal before me?
As a Christian I resonate Paul's words in mind: "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win." 1 Corinthians 9.24
As an artist concepts like race and awards are close to me. Every so often I have to think about what gallery I should contact, who to talk to, how to write my own biography, which are my goals as an artist, do that artistic goals interfere with my goals as a Christian? So many questions where I have to make decisions on a daily basis, and sometimes the weight of responsibility overcomes me and sometimes I want to stop running, to quit, give up.
And then God sends a word, some person, or something that puts me back on my feet and I continue running.

THREE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS - Croatian Artist Lidija Ivanek (SiLa)

When photographer meets painter.
Photographs are not finished until they are printed.
I've printed two winter scenes on canvas sheets from Hahnemühle. Printed on such a way they become more like paintings. I painted a black and white winter scene with acrylic paint on an artistic matte paper.
All artwork I've scanned and posted on both my blogs.
So, finally my painter side meets my photographer side. ;)

Some paintings that I do, I've finished in two hours, but some after two years.
Todays painting was half done and for two years I didn't know what is wrong with it, why I have that “undone” feeling about it. Then, while I was watching this movie on YouTube...

...I realized what was missing in my painting.

“In the beginning” or “Barasheet” in Hebrew (Note that Hebrew is written from right to left) Tav Yod Aleph Resh Bet

Bet as tent
Resh as First or Highst Person
Aleph as Ox or Bull, The First, The Ultimate Strength, God,
Shin as Teeth, to Destroy, to Consume
Yod as Arm-Hand, as my work
Tav as Cross, The Mark, The Covenant

Bet-Resh as Son of

The Son of God will be destroyed (or killed) by his own hand on a cross.

I am such a helpless creature, sensitive to any change in weather. When the south wind starts, when the weather stirs, every vein of my body feels so small and helpless, I am a wretched woman in the hand of the Mighty God.

PS. From the NY Foundation of the arts: "Many of us paint and dance and sing. Others of us restore cars, do needlepoint and cook wonderful dinners. And we use our imagination and creativity to do it- the same way artists do. But there are real diferences in the creative work we do and the art produced by an artist. The important one lies in the intent of the process. A work of art has ambitious intentions. Artists aspire to create NEW forms, reveal emotional truth, explore the unexplored. They long to reach an audience at the deepest levels of meaning with their work. It takes an AWEsome imagination, a gifted talent, an original mind and consuming desire to overcome the seduction of technique, materials, or craft- to make art. Some art is controversial. Some unfathomable. Much of it is beautiful and sensitive and makes us feel deeply. Few people like it all, nor should they. Art is too personal for that. But if what we make is not intended to be art, we can still share in the experience of imagining and creating with every artist. What a remarkable process creating is- giving back more, the more we risk."

Practice, practice, practice.
Is there a time when we can say; "Well, I finished such good artworks, now I can rest"?
I think not.
The talent is from God, but the work and the practice is ours to be perfected.
Without the practice the talent lies dormant and vice versa, the practice cannot take the place of the talent.
It is the practice that makes the talent live. Its the practice that gets ride of the imperfections and mistakes.
