"Just because you feel it doesn't mean it's there" -Thom Yorke.  It is commonly thought that artists rely heavily on their feelings to create.  I don’t believe this is so much the case.  Creation relies entirely on an idea or a concept.  Feeling can aid in extracting the idea in the creative process, but it is the idea entirely that determines the piece's success or not. A feeling is only necessary in the observation after the fact.  

      Feelings don't create.  It is imagined that every great artist works with ragged jeans in a basement of grievance until they arise sunset in the background  holding their masterpiece over their heads.  Pain and struggle do not create great works.  Difficulties might be present during the creation process, but these feelings are temporary, great ideas are forever. 

     Artists do not feel when they create as much as they constantly analyze.  Every good artistic idea did not just fall on a page or canvas.  It was coalesced from huge amounts of information gained through many years.  Feelings are temporary, good art is not.  Something can be said of current modern taste, but good works will always prevail long term.   This is what I try to do.
