"I have to paint, it's like breathing." This perfeclty encapsulates how we as artist feel no matter the art. Amazing!

@Legotron 3 месяца назад

Yes... I felt this statement.

@jspohl 3 месяца назад

Because when inspiration flows like spirit through us it is what gives us life. We are part of the universe and as long as we keep appreciating, seeking joy and calling on inspiration and growing through creativity there is no reason for decline. 💖

I'm a filmmaker, but right after graduating, in the middle of shooting my first feature length documentary, I had a baby, then another, moved a country and for a few other reasons became a stay at home mom. I'm editing meaningless advertisements for a living now, when my kids are in kindergarten 12 hours a week, or late at night when my family sleeps.. A few weeks ago I had a job which had a more artistic approach and working on it felt like I came to the surface after being underwater for years. I feel perfectly healthy apart from being tired all the time, but I just learned that I have cancer. I think it could develop because I didn't breathe. Now I will.

I'm 66. I look in the mirror and think "Who the hell is that?" then I laugh. Age is to remind us of the absurdity of our egos... it's still me in there. I have to embrace the change. I never worried about aging until, suddenly... I looked different. I don't look like 'me.' But as an Artist... Oh! What a blessing to be an Artist, so as to have something important to be obsessed with, rather than how I look!!! I LOVE what YOU wrote!

@@olgamoraiti Beautifully put!! Creativity IS the youth of the Soul!! I have always thought that when one is creating, one is ACTIVELY not dying. It really is a blessing. The other thing...

@jimjimgl3 3 месяца назад

Short and sweet. Rockburne seems so aware of her presence in the art world and also appreciative of what it has given her and what she gave the art world. And btw, after college I began work in NYC in the 80s and even then some of these raw work lofts were occupied by artists. I remember being invited to a loft in SoHo where a friend lived with her artist parents. Coming from the suburbs it felt like I had gone to Oz. Of course now just pricey "luxury" residences...

@notaclue822 2 месяца назад

Yes what a loss. The bohemian thing has all but vanished from cities, along with magazine stands and quirky little shops. The space this woman has is gorgeous.

I’m 40 and think about getting back to it everyday but feeling lost in this chaos that is the now. Sometimes it’s like that for years or even a decade . But I do feel the need to give the gift it’s time on earth . What a shame to keep it hidden in the drawers of our mind . 😭

I haven’t stopped in 2 years but I often think about the time I lost and how much better I would have been, or where I would have been if I hadn’t stopped. I’m 60 now and just pray that my physical and mental health will allow me to reach my 90s and make up for lost time. Inspiring video

As I said in another video, I hope that you will explore more of the 90+ years culture of people who live their lives to the fullest. We need it. As a mature adult, I am just falling in love with painting, just beginning to grow the talent. Thank you. Eve

Amazing lovely works of Art, such colours and forms, and technique, you have found something very special, so thanks for sharing it with us. My mom is (still very much here in spirit) also an artist, and worked until she was 85, she also loved colour, form, space made abstract and figurative often together.

Wonderful video she is very cool. I am an artist too and a similar thing happened to me in elementary school, the teacher held up my painting of an ice-skating rink with trees, buildings, clouds and people wearing scarves and hats and mittens and in all different directions in skating poses, some were holding hands and some were on their butt because they had just fallen and she held it up to the class and said "Look at all the details and excitement, can't you just imagine yourselves in this scene? Antonia's a real artist in the making!" and I remember the class ooing and ahing and looking at me like I was special. I never wanted that feeling to end I'm 61 years old now and I am in my studio right now typing this :) Nver quit creating.
