Blank Page

What in the world will I make?

We’ve been busy this spring parts of it to the point of madness.  Now I find myself at a pause as spring activities pause and summer activities have not yet started and yet my mind is a complete blank.  There is so much momentum in being busy and trying to find time for everything that life brings your way and then it lets up and I should be in there finding time for me and yet I’m not.  My mind is a blank.

Solutions

I don’t have all the answers.  But I find myself saying how do I inspire myself to get back in there and do art.  Painting houses is not art.  Though matching colors and all that is a small piece of art it doesn’t cut it for the skill that I’ve learned or am trying to learn and develop.

So after a week, I’m feeling antsy I know I should be in the studio and am frustrated at going nowhere.  My little one year old wants to play outside all the time…  so forget the studio, maybe my work needs to be outside and a little more portable for now.  After all that’s where life is at.

So I completed a little nothing.  Quite literally.  Just tried to get the lines and the right angles.  If I could increase my speed it would be a sketch of my baby playing in the little kiddie pool but I’ve slowed up from lack of practice.  I’m happy to have captured a few lines of art no matter how pathetic.  It’s progress to bigger things and getting myself going again in my art and that’s all that matters.
