Dare to come out of the box

Once a paint brush is in the gifted artists hand and he can put colors to paper his desire is to paint an abstract vision of symbols and figures that tempt and guide the viewer down a path of their own making. This becomes a test of the viewers ability to be imaginative and within their own minds build an abstract that of course will be influenced by their experiences in life. The key is to not hold onto one single element that has progressed as a repeat idea or occurrence from their living. As a person exercises this practice their minds will open up as well as their heart and they will develop a new exciting way to view the world and life. One's imagination will become more finely tuned and an ability to grasp a magical take on things will become an escape for them. Even though the world is in color it takes the placement of one's mind to desire to put an imaginative unanchored spin on the daily mundane and then the ability to cope and escape becomes a healthy alternative to booze and or drugs to shake off the burdens of the daily grind. There are so many other good things that'll happen to you that enhances your life through a healthy change of mind and heart that awakens a joy in you. The world is so much more than what our eyes allow us to see.
