Great article, love how you can come up with art from anything, adjectives!, never thought about them as art inspiration, once one start to see around with different eyes, everything can come to live!
I’m working on my first art page inspired by your work, it’s still shy, it’s still asking for more… it’s still asking to be itself.

Wow! This piece is so filled with images and emotion. I could definitely get lost in it. I loved the concept of thinking of a descriptive word while creating. I also appreciated how you stressed finding a deeper word than your first thought. The one page of journaling next to a page of gorgeous art is speaking to me. Thank you for another piece of inspiration.

You make it look so easy… for me it not adjectives but symbols that I see while painting. I never thought of writing them down or writing my thoughts on the opposite page. You have given me inspiration today, thank you!

Dear Paivi,
Just finished your wonderful, insightful on line class. This was the FROSTING on the cake. By concentrating on a word combined with a feeling my hand was free to EXPLORE on it’s own. It didn’t need to copy anything. Going out tomorrow to buy more sketch books and paper ! You are such an inspiration to all of us.

Another fabulous piece. I am glad you are offering your Inspirations course again in the fall. I hope that I will be able to join in at that time.

Paivi, I love, love this piece. I get so many wonderful feelings while looking at it. The bird soaring gently over all. The medallion sun, the mysterious face on the right side and for some reason the lower right corner made me feel I was at an outdoor cafe in Paris having coffee and a croissant! Energetic, inspiring, abundant!

I am always AMAZED with your art! Do you imagine certain images when you start to doodle (draw) ?
I love your art and hopefully in the near future can take one of your classes.

I’ve never really thought of inspirational adjectives for what I do. That sounds so professional and I do “little” art for me to enjoy, not grand art that would qualify me as a professional artist. You always get me to think and this is a good lesson for me – if I don’t value what I do, then why do it? I do it because I love it – therefore it has value and personal inspiration words are extremely useful as background for my marks. That gives the marks more depth and value in each piece. Thank you again for your forward-thinking and then sharing such important thoughts!
