Simple Questions? Simple Answers!

I have come to realize the things we know for sure in life are very simple and direct.  The simple lessons you have learned in life are often times the most difficult to apply.  Simplicity is very pure and expects your best on a consistent basis.  Also the thing you desire to do most is very obvious and apparent.  Why are the simple things in life so easy to ignore, apply and overlook?  If we take a step back and consider less is more within the context of keeping art simple the answer to our problems will be directly in our face.  A solution to most of your art problems no matter how big or small can be typically found within the problem itself, you just have to search for the simplest answer.  What are you looking to accomplish?  What materials will you need to be successful? What are your long term goals?  What kind of artist are you?  What is the meaning in this piece?  All these questions deserve little thought when you keep it simple and very direct, every one of these answers should be less than ten words.  If you go over ten words then go back to the drawing board and pay attention to what your spirit is saying, what your intuition is saying, what your inner wisdom is saying and most importantly what God is saying!  Keep it simple!
