Diana Riverstone 

March Guest Presentation on 

"Creative Inspiration"

What is creativity? What seems to shut off the flow of inspiration that keeps us creating? How can we get back into that flow and/or enhance that process? Artists and creators of all kinds know those special times when we get so wrapped up in what we are doing, time seems to disappear, and work just happens. When we come back to our ordinary focus, we realize we were "someplace else" and we don't really know how to get back there. Over the last few years I have been learning and discovering ways to tap into that process at will and am delighted to share this with you. 

Diana Riverstone: 

"I began painting in earnest about six years ago and quickly became bored with painting in the style and with the materials I first learned. I switched to acrylics because of all the mediums available and the incredible potential in them. During this time, I also read books by artists, some that were tremendously thought provoking. I was also learning more about being a real human being and how we work. This taught me steps to shift my brain waves at will and to touch into that deepest flow of inspiration. The steps are easy and can be done by anyone."

"Examples below show different ways to use the same materials. These kinds of painting resulted from my using the techniques I have learned to enhance inspiration. I’ll be sharing some of them in the presentation and will talk you through them so you can use them on your own"

Cougar Country – Painting by Diana Riverstone 

Primarily acrylic paint with light application of textural medium to create the rocks and foreground. I used interference gold to highlight the hills which shifts from gold to platinum depending on the angle of viewing.



Midnight Magic – Painting by Diana Riverstone

Used stucco, fiber, sand and black lava mediums with interference, iridescent, metallic and acrylic paints. There is a glowing bronze-gold highlights on the leaves which can be seen at certain angles. A “sculptural painting” that explores what might be possible with these materials.




Splendor – Painting by Diana Riverstone

Acrylic and iridescent paints done on two sides of a piece of glass and protected by another, unpainted glass. Parts of the snowy foreground are actually the background painted on the reverse side of the glass and shows through as clear “ice” puddles and adds color to the snow in other areas. Painting on both sides of the glass makes an unexpected separation (thickness of the glass itself) of the foreground from the background.

April Cheyenne Artists Guild

Member Meeting - Guest Speaker 

Lynn Newman

Don't miss this opportunity! During our next member meeting on April 1, 2013.  Lynn Newman, our guest speaker will be sharing ideas on how to identify your artistic vision, and how that plays out in "real" life.

"My paintings are about the idea of looking at common things (like sagebrush) to discover the uncommon things (like the gorgeous blues in a Wyoming sagebrush).  I would like to share this idea with my students — Art is about discovering ourselves in the everyday. We need to make a concerted effort (art) to discover ourselves in the small moments or we’re certain to miss our larger connections to the world around us."
