Experimenting with ink splash and ball point

[Scamall]

Ah! hi ,yes I know I've been completely quiet so far . Busy with trying reincarnate creatively with a new drawing method in the face of physical & especially motivational obstacles. What is art? about etc. Then I saw Scamells work on this thread,I just had to comment - Special ! just because it is so creative -That's it ! That's what I used to love about art & that's the shape of the void that's been left in my heart.
Now I am reminded of the value of that sadly now endangered beast , the art forum ! There is genuine value in both seeing the work of others, sharing my own & discussing art work in some depth on occasion.

Wow, Mike! There are so many aspects of art that I value, but you hit on the most important one to me, that of creativity and play. I love seeing how everyone incorporates that sense of creativity and play in their work and that certainly “creatively sparks” my own.

Hi Maureen, nice to see you here
I'm not so sure about beauty in art being the highest goal in the very traditional sense any longer ! -SHOCK !
Selfish maybe ? but from now on I'm intending to just work for myself ,to explore & see if it goes anywhere.
Scamall put it best "creativity and play" , & why do we play ? - to have fun of course !
I can remember the well worn phrase when I was a young kid ,you'd knock on a young friends door & say to their parents -"Is Billy coming out to play ?" Well that's what an art forum is largely about for me. & what so called social media is not about !
Cheers Mike
