THE ART OF CREATIVE LIVING By Thomas Kinkade Review by Laura V. Hilton
THE ART OF CREATIVE LIVING is written for anyone who would like to break out of the rut they are living in and who wants to explore some neglected dream. Mr. Kinkade addresses the issue of how to go about reaching their desires.
Mr. Kinkade tells us in seven simple steps how to go about reaching your goals and he shares helpful examples and some true life stories to help make his point. The seven steps are:
. Solitude – learning to listen to your inner sensitivities . Passion – exploring the inner fire that nurtures you . Love – the single most essential ingredient . Community – how will your ideas impact the world . Work – discovering how it can be a pleasure . Conflict – the opportunity to expand your personal possibilities . Worship – why diverting your eyes from your goals helps you reach your goals
THE ART OF CREATIVE LIVING is an interesting book to read, and every chapter is graced by one of Mr. Kinkade’s beautiful paintings. My son, Michael, read this book, hoping that some of Mr. Kinkade’s painting techniques would be revealed. This is not the case. However, this book does teach you the necessary steps to drawing into yourself and developing your creative touch, whether you are an artist, a musician, a writer, or anyone else who relies on their imagination—or just wants to develop one. $19.99 hard cover. 249 pages.
