Why do I create?
Why do I create? Why do I paint. Why? Because if not my head would explode. The voices in my head needs to get out. Sound crazy, I know. But if I don’t create, I don’t feel like I exist.
All the ideas I have in my head needs to get out. They sometimes take on a life on their own, I see them walking out of my head, down to my shoulder and out in the world. Sometimes I wonder when the men in white coats will come. Other times I’m in love with creation. When people ask “What do you do?” it might be a simple question to answer for some people. For me it depends of the time of day or which day. I paint, I write, I think (and overthink), I draw, I illustrate, I create therefore I am.
Watercolor and ink, made by Anne Onsøien.
Wow that’s stunning! Like a sunset! I like that a lot!
Thank you very much, also watercolor and ink.
Beautofully said, Annie! I think all of us who are inclined towards something creative- the pen, the brush, the lens, or anything else- I think we all have voices in our heads that need to make themselves heard! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, I am enjoying yours a great deal!
thank you very much! So nice to get your feedback, happy to meet you! anne

Nice, true Shakespear English.
Thank you, I’m touched..
My favorite part, “When people ask ‘What do you do?’ it might be a simple question to answer for some people. For me it depends of the time of day or which day.”
Creativity releases something in me as well but nothing does it so well as painting in oils with amber medium. That to me is the bomb!
Thank you for your wonderful comment, I’m so glad to meet others who are creative!
Doesn’t sound crazy at all, the “voices” were part of the reason I started writing.
You’re right, thanks for reminding me;-)
