A Familiar Feeling

For so long now the urge to paint, to see colour transforming a blank canvas has just been a memory.

Other things seemed to have stepped into the foreground.
I just no longer had the inclination. The spark wasn't there. The colours weren't calling me. The pictures and shapes had been replaced by words arising, as images once did. . . .

Then today I felt a familiar feeling, just a twinge but I recognised it immediately. Will it lead anywhere? We'll see.

"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way... things I had no words for." - Georgia O'Keeffe
