ideas worth waiting for...

While not specific to visual art, Johannes Brahms' quote invites us to examine the time frame we impose on making art versus allowing incubation. While he probably didn't have as many distractions as we do today, the concept of leaving an idea or a beginning alone, is worth examining. In my view, the first few notes of a song or a painting are often filled with promise. Have you had the experience of pushing through a good beginning? What about this notion of letting an idea sit until you "know what to do". It's a practice worth cultivating. Put the idea away, and let it percolate. Until it beckons you.
