Art in Solitude: Calm Environments and the Power of Quiet


Places, where one can hear themselves think, are powerful. It's where creativity blossoms and your inner artist truly thrives.


This is something I knew about but didn't understand until I could escape my routine life and head to a family cottage for a few days.


This place had been a spontaneous destination for my family – I packed my art supplies (almost all of my art supplies) and headed off to a new spot. With my little dog Ollie, my sister, dad, and mom, we set out to enjoy ourselves and appreciate a slower pace of living. I was incredibly grateful to have this time to slow down and take a half-day break from my full-day job. I know this is not the case for everyone, so I feel very lucky to have gotten this opportunity.

 

Some beautiful snapshots from my trip ☀ My dog, Ollie (wire fox terrier mix) had a blast!
 

So, no, this blog post is not about going the furthest from your home and seeing far-off destinations for creative discovery. I mean, it sounds incredible, don't get me wrong, but I hope that my short story inspired you to find solitude anywhere. Maybe that will be in a nearby park, where you sit down and do some slow-paced sketching. Or, maybe you will be inspired to go on a walk around the block and see nature up close. I hope you have the space and time to have some time in quiet, and you can recognize its magic first-hand.
