Book Description

December 15, 2005
Beautifully illustrating a path of self-discovery, Kaleidoscope~Artistic Techniques for the Creative Soul, awakens the body, mind, and spirit to the joy and wonder of the intuitive painting process.

The ability to create beauty is a birthright--an enduring gift of the creative spirit that resides within us all. Simply by honoring the wisdom of the intuitive self, anyone--artist or non-artist--can discover that wellspring of creativity to draw from, reflecting one's inner beauty in its expressive form.

Beginning with the very simple tools of paper, paint, and water, one is instantly encouraged to color outside the lines, to do what comes naturally from within. Intuitive art is not concerned with any specific technique, rather, it invokes the painter to become a part of the whole, to be at one with nature, in the process of discovery and exploration.

From the Publisher

Through spontaneous imagery and inspired wisdom, Kaleidiscope explores the ever-changing contours of one's inner landscape as expressed during the creative process. A single piece of poetry accented by a colorful mandalic images guides the reader, step by step, through the transformative process as body, mind, and spirit blossom into fullness in the garden of the soul. Each chapter closes with a visualization exercise and painting instructions designed to engage the reader in the discovery and exploration of her/his own spiritual creativity. The book concludes with a fairy tale "The Maiden and the Frog" which reflects, from a different perspective, the journey from the mind to the heart.

An Appendix appears at the end of the book with detailed descriptions of the many artistic materials and techniques used in the practice of intuitive art as well as a listing of additional books for further reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nurturing the creative spark that resides within, May 6, 2002
This review is from: Kaleidoscope : Artistic Techniques for the Creative Soul (Paperback)
Kaleidoscope: Artistic Techniques For The Creative Soul by Elisabeth Keely Wilson is an inspirational book that blends beautiful, full-color artwork and innovative, brief, almost poetic commentaries about metaphysical and spiritual thoughts to guide the reader on an uplifting and transforming journey of personal insights and intimate revelations. Nurturing the creative spark that resides within, the bold, abstract yet vivid paintings have an especially profound impact in this superb presented volume of imagery, simple mental exercises, meditations to help transcend creative block in any literary or artistic medium. Kaleidoscope is highly recommended for students of metaphysics, spirituality, and the use of art for generating self-introspection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative art, moving prose, July 31, 2002
This review is from: Kaleidoscope : Artistic Techniques for the Creative Soul (Paperback)
Between the pages of this book Elisabeth Wilson bares her soul as artist and writer. Beautiful artwork combined with deeply moving prose creates a wonderful work that strikes a resonant chord in the reader. The final part of the book includes the materials and techniques that she used to create the artworks in the book. Wonderfully touching, a highly recommended read for when you want to turn your mind from the troubles of the day to a deeper, peaceful place.
