Visionary art...

Ok peeps. Let's kick off. This week's task takes us back to basics. Let's think about what inspires us creatively. What images help us to link the mundane everyday to the power within that inspires us and helps us tap into the creative driving force? Is there an image you can look at that just makes you think - of course!

I came across this link on Visionary Art. Its aim is to summarise the changing way in which artists have depicted the inspirational link to 'all that is' through the ages. From the Baby Jesus, via Rossetti's colourful, almost astral depictions, right up to Dali and altered states of consciousness, the article explores some of the ways in which art has depicted what is going on in the material world, but through a lens coloured by a perception of what might lie 'beyond'.

Pick a piece of art that does this for you. Post it on the blog and share your thoughts...
