| | | CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY |
Next I will be posting some non-still life things. I haven't posted much about my "break" because it has turned into something I didn't expect, and because it's been hard. "Ha," you think, "how could a break be hard?" It's hard because as soon as I got back to still life I found myself very quickly back in the same rut I was in before, and still not truly enthusiastic about what I was doing. At first I wracked my brain for how to "fix" this problem, and/or what else I could do. But I am finding that trying to think my way out of a creative jam is fruitless. So my new approach is to calm down, wait, get bored, and be open to new things. And keep painting, but only when and what I feel like. I have also realized that this is very personal process. I've gotten a lot of advice and suggestions from others, and while I appreciate the intention, I've realized that I'm the only one who can help me. That said, I want to thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for all the support over the years, and especially now! You all have been so patient with me and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Thank you. |
