Creative inspiration comes from within and without. Some artists will throw paint on a canvas to get the conversation going. This painting was begun this way. The shapes on the canvas take on an independent existence and speak to the creator. They set new requirements. Anyone who is involved in a creative project must be aware of the external conditions in which he or she creates.

THE WHITE HOUSE

Acrylic on masonite 18″ x 24″

[from the award-winning video, The Creative Adventure]

The artist has to be aware of the negative shapes (the white space) as well as the positive shapes (the colored space). Both need to be interesting shapes. In this picture the negative spaces flow into the positive spaces integrating the object with the background. Changing boundaries is a key concept in creative functioning.
