Lately, it seems that we may be catching up with the list of
summer projects. The house is rearranged to the point of being usable. Vacations
are almost done for the season. Gardens are as finished as they will be for the
year. Kids are set on their career/college paths. We’re finding some time to
spend with friends and family again.
One of the things I just haven’t been able to motivate to
work at, though, is getting back to the studio. It sits up those stairs, all
clean and organized. Materials overflow: canvases, paints, brushes, pencils,
frames and framing supplies.
I want to do artwork, I need to do artwork. It makes me feel
good, it pleases my senses & my soul.
Part of the issue is that I haven’t found an inspired block
of time to dive into the process. Ideas are overflowing, design execution ready
to be applied. But that 3-4 hour span of uninterrupted creation never seems to
happen simply because, darn it! something else pulls me away.
I’ve been trying to start the practice of a doing a “little”
something regularly. Okay, I’ve done it once. But, that counts as “starting”,
right?
The first (yes, there will be more) is this sketch of my own
hand. It was just a quick exercise in the basics.
It is a great place to start and a great start you have made :)
ReplyDeleteAnn, as always, you are too kind... thank you!
