How do your surroundings affect your art? My doodled animals are
influenced by those commonly bred on my home patch - had never
even thought about it till recently, that was just how I drew
'em. I now live in a drier part of the country, and I find I'm
using more greens in my work - perhaps trying to recapture the
colours of home. Anybody else notice this?

I have noticed that I don't use a
lot of bold colors now that I have
children, unless it's art for my
children. I don't know what that's
about.

Other than that, I don't really know.

My computer was freezing up. I
didn't know if it actually posted.
Oops. Sorry.

Modern toys all seem to be a bit
too bright and boisterous to me!
I'm sure my own favourites had much
calmer colour schemes. Maybe your
childhood favourites hold the key?I have noticed that I don't use a lot of bold colors now that I have children, unless it's art for my children. I don't know what that's about.
I've tended to move around the
country a fair bit over the last
decade or so, and I don't think
there's any doubt it has influenced
what I do enormously. Not only the
geographical changes, moving from
rural areas to urban then back
again, but also moving from one
workspace/studio to another.

senario to keep an artist motivate
I can remember reading a book
featuring De Kooning and he aslways
took walks around long island in
ameraica to get all his art...I
think that it is the way to go.nI've tended to move around the country a fair bit over the last decade or so, and I don't think there's any doubt it has influenced what I do enormously.

For me, it's more mental chamges
than my physical surroundings. My
art alternates between cute and
fuzzy, and disturbing or bold. And
if I have to finish a "cute" piece,
and am not in a "cute" mood, I can
be in big trouble! Might draw a
dismembered teddy bear or
something...

Me too...I think it's made me much
more organised with my materials!
After the first few times moving I
got all my arty stuff into some
sort of sensible order. Still
haven't found a lot of the cutlery
though...:-)I've tended to move around the country a fair bit over the last decade or so, and I don't think there's any doubt it has influenced what I do enormously.

...and do you have a box of
who-knows-what that never seems to
get unpacked, or even opened, no
matter how many times you move?!Me too...I think it's made me much more organised with my materials! After the first few times moving I got all my arty stuff into some sort of sensible order. Still haven't found a lot of the cutlery though...:-)

oh yes, several. It's compulsory!
Have now designated them
"Schrödinger's Kitchen Implements"
- suspect if I ever actually opened
them that the universe might
disappear in a puff of
philosophy...
