Art and psyche
I have been practicing a type of painting that I call emerging image. After making a chaotic background, I stare until I see forms and images. Then I begin to paint. The emerging process continues throughou

9 Things That Happen When You Carry A Sketchbook With You Nonstop—by Priscilla Frank
Love this! I'm NOT an artist, and it really speaks to me... 9 Things That Happen When You Carry A Sketchbook With You Nonstop—by Priscilla Frank Draw everywhere and all the time. An artist is a sketchbook with a person attached," artist Irwin Greenberg said. OK, but what if you're not an artist? Or, at least, not yet. Can you still gain something from incorporating a sketchbook into your everyday life? The answer is yes, yes, a million times yes. And here's why. Exercising your creative mind…

I thought it would be fun to post dream inspired art images along with the narrative of the dream that inspired the image. 11 x 14 Acrylic on Canvas This painting was done as part of my work with Karla Van Vliet, Art and the Practice of Presence. Dream: I am at some kind of outdoor function. There is a woman who jumps up and starts cleaning. I hear Mozart music and I close my eyes and start to spin around and around on the chair I am sitting on which now feels like a piano stool. It feels good…

I work with clients who are professional artists, adolescent musicians who compete in international competitions, etc. Presenting problems sometimes include a lack of inspiration or crippling anxiety that blocks the ability to perform or audition. My sense is that these problems are partly due to a disconnection from the individual's core soul source - as well as a loss of serving as a channel for spiritual expression. I am inviting folks to share how they stay connected to their creative…

Wow...beautiful Susy! I love the painting.
This is the painting that I am currently working on. It is likely 2/3's done. It is a white raven with a cobra in his talons. The cobra is also the night sky, filled with the stars of the milky way. He is holding a pearl in his fangs. The moon has a moon. The night sky wraps around the sun. The cobra has two tails that swirl into constellations. Some of this is still comped out. I don't know what happens next until it "feels" right.
It's been awfully quiet in this part of the woods, I would like to post a possible suggestion for discussion.
Jungian Analysts and the danger of identification with the artist archetype.
From the Red Book Readers addition, introduction page 63.
The artist who produces such works educates the spirit of the age, and compensated the one sidedness of the present. In describing the geniuses of such symbolic works, Jung seemingly had his own activities in mind. while he refused to regard Liber Novus as “Art” his reflections on its composition were nevertheless a critical source of his subsequent conceptions and theories of art.
The implicit question that this paper raised was whether psychology could now serve this function of educating the spirit of the age and compensating the one sidedness of the present. From this period onward, he came to conceive of the task of his psychology in precisely such a manner.
( That of an artist?)

Hello I´m artist from Argentina I want to show you my Transpersonal paintings, please when have time go to: www.camilovillanueva.com. Thank you. Sorry my bad English. Best. Camilo
not a bad little poem. In poem circles we'd call it a "keeper". I've written hundreds maybe thousands ( like Bly or Stafford I'd write one very morning sometimes) of poems. I'm so F...ing tried of reading psychobabble and Jungian crap ( there's the start of a poem) that it's refreshing to just hear (even better when read out-loud) some creative repartee.....Best Jeff
Oh Silvia,
I just love this poem! How do I find your blog?
