A Calligrapher's Inspiration and Contemplation

We all need to take time out to contemplate and seek inspiration, especially artists. That time could be in a garden or in a park or while just walking.

Mine happens on a Sunday morning during and after a walk. I'm very lucky to have both a bay and a park with ponds to walk around, to gain inspiration from and seek some contemplation space. I try to free my mind from the thoughts that want me to be organised and just try to see and listen. If  I'm lucky enough to get out before the health inspired people begin their day I can sit and listen to the surf and birds, and be inspired to go home and begin working on my calligraphy.

I hope every calligrapher has this opportunity sometime during the week.
