The 5 oufce
Rem em ber the jo y you felt as a child
when you finger-painted orwatervolored
and let your im agination run w ild? Per­
haps you drew vibrant flowers, animals
o r monsters. D id you know that you
could experience that sam e artistic free­
dom by getting in touch with the creative
source that’s inside everyone?In the
tradition o f D raw ing O n the Right Side
o f the Brain and The A rtist ’ s W ay, artist
and therapist A viva gold demonstrates
how anyone can use painting as a m eans
o f ecstatic self-expression and personal
transformation. In Painting From The
Source: A w akening the A rtist’s Soul In
Everyone(HarperPerrenial; Paperback),
Gold, w ith co-author Elena O um ano,
gently guides both novices and trained
painter alike on a step-by-step journey
tow ard self-knowledge.
“Every hum an being is an artist,’’
says Gold. “A s children, all o f us lived
and painted intuitively. Creativity is sup­
posed to be easy, fun, enriching, life
confirming, andjoyous, w ithnoanxiety
and end results. M any o f us are cut o ff
from that effortless expression.” G old
reminds us that we are our ow n worst
critics and that w e stifle our ow n creativ­
ity with intellectual doubts. In Painting
From The Source. A viva Gold, using
artistic talent and her experience in psy­
chotherapy, helps us to rediscover our
creative side using a blend o f spiritual,
artistic, and psychological elements.
G old helps us tap the “source” - the
instinctual center in each ofus. O nce we
reach the source she gives us hints on
staying with it while painting. Som e
things to keep in m ind are:
Paint absolutely anything you want
- no matter how grotesque, pretty, corny,
babyish, silly o r obscene.
■Use all the paint you want - and take
all the time you need.
•There are no restrictions - you can
be as m essy as you want, drip paint on
the floor, mix any colors together, m ake
the paper any size o r shape, or hang it in
any position.
•Avoid listening to
music while you paint-
at least in the begin­
ning. M usic exerts a
powerful effect on your
entire system - from
physical to m ental from
spiritual to emotional.
•Stay indoors while
you paint - at least until
y o u are w ell- c o n ­
nected to the source.
A v o id in te rru p ­
tions - don’t answ er
the phone, turn o ff the
ringer and turn down
th e a n sw e rin g m a ­
chine.
Painting From rh e
Source will inspire the
novice to put brush to
paper, and help the ex­
perienced painter to re­
discover the passion
for painting that he o r
she m ight have lo st
