I'd love to hear a painter's thoughts about their process, too. The longer I think and write about drumming, music and the creative process, the more I hear from other artists, and even non-artists, that our creative journeys are similar, or at least analogous. So much so that our differences surprise me more than our similarities! Hope you're well on the other side of the earth. DD Great to hear from you MM.

I play a flute weekly with a friend of mine who plays a violin. We mostly play classical music. This discussion about where a musicians new ideas come from reminded me of where my own writing ideas come from (I write three blogs). You kind of immerse yourself in new ideas, and then suddenly a synthesis occurs. The process between music and writing sounds very much the same. I wonder if for painting artists, they have to go through a similar process of looking for new ideas?
