Can I have a reading about my love affair with visual art?
absolutely! what a pleasure to break in the cards with such a beautiful question! thank you brighteye!
you: the mature woman - the family room
we see this gracious and considerate woman who could've walked right out of "the great man's lady" placed in a large living room of a large house. when you are in the act of creating you feel so at home and comfortable with yourself. you are transported into a safe space that anything can happen simply because it is all so safe.
you are in your element with the world of dreams, ideas and imagination.
how art rocks you world: toil and labor - the official person - the lovers
you love the skills you have acquired. you are proud of the time you have put into it. you feel content and a part of the world with the responses you have received. it is a facet of yourself that you are very proud to share with the world. and you should be. you consider it deeply. it is serious and playful and very profound. in fact you are in love with it. plain and simple. it fulfills your deepest needs for filling the gap of longing and allowing you a belonging in the real world.
how you interact with art: distant horizons - poverty
the act of creating is something you never feel is yours. you are always on the hunt and chasing it down. it is thrilling and exciting and never boring. the desire for exploring things beyond what you have or can ever really own (creativity is fleeting and must be snatched) are so thrilling and exciting. it is the idea of poverty and seizing what you can when can. all artists are beggars. moments of true inspiration hit infrequently. and they toil and labor to make something that really never lives up to their visions. but it is the precisely not lining up that keeps it so exciting and wonderous! and why you are in love.
your love of detail and your love of the imaginary and mystical always just out of reach align so beautifully with making art.
