Writing - Creation

 Today we celebrated creation Sunday which was not about creativity on a human level but as a source of inspiration at that level, a very interesting perspective. 




The Earth is a topic we should all be aware of daily and not just as observers. We all have a responsibility to maintain our environment. 

Lecture over and now creativity. Again it is the planet we inhabit that is the source. Everything from flora to fauna, weather and natural events, provide inspiration for every branch of art and creativity you can imagine. The book jacket above I created in my own clumsy way, to illustrate what is going on in the story trapped between those covers. The blurb is not going to help explain but does hint at what is transpiring.

A man is found dead in the massive Kielder Forest in Northumberland and the initial reports suggest suicide. A member of Patrick A Steele’s team feels that is not the whole story and an investigation ensues that leads the team into conflict with some of the most powerful people in the UK. Steele can mete out his own brand of justice initially but when the power companies and the government become involved Steele has to tread carefully.


As the author my feelings towards the subjects of corporate greed and global warming come through in this story and can be purchased for Kindle at £3.07 from Amazon. 

Advertisement over creativity requires shades to enhance the 3D nature of the works we produce and the Earth provides us with a gloriously over-stuffed source of enhancements that we can use in all forms of creativity. 

What would Picasso's blue period be like without the blue? Why that colour? 

Van Gogh made sunflowers famous. 

Wordsworth wandering lonely as a cloud would have been bereft without his daffodils. 

Creativity mirrors creation in a continual stream of different viewpoints, styles and media and will always do so while there are people on the Earth to produce such artefacts. 

God Bless
