This little book was recommended on a site I follow. The Art of Noticing.
I procured a copy from the library then decided I needed my own to
dog ear, mark up & refer to for inspiration.
It's right there with Keep Going on my table.
Rob has a website as well and a newsletter that is a nice
companion to the book with current thoughts.
This latest post from his newsletter
has some great ideas to get you Noticing things
around you while being in your home.
I especially like this tid bit.
I'm working on that in earnest. Why not?
Try to notice good stuff everyday.

Make Bad Art
The Washington Post recently offered “5 tips to spark your creativity while working alone, from artists who do it all the time.” Lots of good practical ideas, but my favorite bit is a side comment quote from the always-entertaining artist and writer (and friend of TAoN) Dean Haspiel: “A lot of bad art is going to come out of this nightmare — including my own — and that’s okay.”I'm working on that in earnest. Why not?

It is an art to notice things. I am always noticing little tiny things while we are just walking along. I'll stop, bend over and look at the little Lady Bug, or an interesting rock...who knows what I'll see next. Probably could snap a photo and I do sometimes. Have a lovely day and I'll see you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteSo true that you can't make good art without making a lot of bad art, too. Also very true that you can't make good art without noticing things!

I have made it a point to find joy in the everyday many years ago. It's always there and after a while I don't even have to think about finding it, I just see it now :)
