Dear <<Name>>,

I have some questions for you today.

How do you know if an artwork is good?

We each have standards, but in general I think people consider:   

  • How much do we want to look at it
  • How much does it impact our thoughts and experience
  • How do we feel as we look at it, think about it, and experience it?

So for you, as someone who knows and loves abstract painting, what are some factors that make an artwork feel good for you to look at or experience? Please pause and answer this question for yourself.

Headaches often popped up where my head had been hit as a child.  

Picturing a good abstract artwork - one with the qualities that, for you, feel good to look at or experience - how do you think those qualities got in there? How did they get into the artwork?

To my mind, the only answer is through the consciousness (and then hand) of the artist.

Has looking at a piece of abstract art ever changed you - for example, the way you feel or the experience of your day?

If so, we know abstract art has a vibrational influence on us as we look at it.

How about art we make? Could that process or product have a vibrational influence on us?

How about other actions we take, like cleaning house or learning something new; do these acts make changes in your life beyond the size of the action?

How about visualization; do you use this invisible tool to pave the way for changes in your life? If you’re not sure, think about the process of deciding on a new piece of furniture or room layout.

Hopefully, this circuitous series of questions has led you deeper into the significance of this statement:

Creating art can be a powerful re-envisioning tool, quite likely with an outsize influence on our actual experience afterward. It can change our consciousness or vibration, which can pave the way for a desired life change, if we choose.   

That's the idea behind my upcoming workshop, Create a Healing-Transmuting Painting. Learn more below!

Yours in the joy of beauty and spirit,

Julie
