It’s time I talked some more about my newly proclaimed label of “Eccentricity” and how I fit that persona, especially from the creative side.

I hope to answer the question why is eccentricity so important in visual art? They say it opens the doors to free uninhabited space. Since eccentrics are often comfortable with their weirdness finding new, often very different ways, to express themselves just comes naturally. So eccentrics find different, often obscure boundary limits of what is art, aka, we are not afraid to show our weirdness.

Eccentric art loudly speaks in a world usually so quiet to be very boring. Salvador Dali is certainly one of those eccentrics. I visited his museum in St. Petersburg FL a couple of years ago. Even when I thought I knew what to expect, it blew my mind as to what I found there. Dali most certainly wore the badge of eccentricity throughout his life.

Most eccentric artists have a style that they say is personal to them, rather than simply being unique. Often times they fill there world with those artisitic expressions. 

Trying to define eccentric art is kinda like trying to catch the wind, but I think there are some similarities to be found. To be an eccentric artist means to be true to yourself. It is a quest for sincerity, for honesty and for saying what you truly feel.

I am presently trying to discover where my artsy side is taking me this year. Maybe I will figure it out before the year is over. One thing I am discovering is that color is essential to future artsy work.
