Let the wilderness support your art practice

Most recently I have been giving myself permission to sit by the lake in the woods. There is a tiny conflicting voice that is telling me to get to “work”.

sit by the lake for ideas

But I am finding that the gift of that time by the lake makes it easier to get to work later. Hmmm?

So I offer you this challenge:

  • Find some wilderness nearby, woods, lake, ocean, park
  • Go there walk, sit and breathe it in
  • See if this gift of time in nature improves your “work” time

I get many ideas and inspiration from the woods:

Hope I have encouraged you to walk in the woods today.
