10 Things I Love About Being An Artist – The List

Note: This piece originally posted on January 24, 2012, just about a year ago. Many of you hadn’t started reading the blog yet and I wanted to bring these to your attention. And for those “old timers” among you, I thought you might enjoy a reread. This “List” post is valuable because you can access each of the ten reasons, and their corresponding texts, from this one piece. I hope you enjoy them.

10 Things I Love About Being An Artist – The List

This is a recap of a series of posts I wrote listing some of the reasons I love being an artist. They are numbered 1 through 10 but are in no particular order. If you click on each title, or whichever title interests you, you will be taken back to the original post.

  1. Standing up to my easel.

  2. The cacophony of creativity that opens.

  3. The searching journey.
  4. Finding community with other artists.

  5. Living within silence.
  6. The luxury of time and rest.
  7. An awareness of the seasons, being connected to the land.
  8. Living life deeply.
  9. The ability to communicate on a profound level.
  10. The opportunity to live my truth.

Love to you all,
Jeane

      Mmmmm… good point, of course. Let me see what I can do about that. But at least I’m not waking to an alarm clock 🙂

About Me

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
