For those of you that have been following me for a while probably know that like a lot of artists I’ve gone through a “dry period”. Lots of personal loss of family and friends in the past year, I broke my left thumb and trashed the tendons in the process, and now economic woes, all of that can weigh heavily on a person.
So what’s a girl to do? Make changes of course.
I started drawing and writing daily again, even if it was only scribbles and making lists, it was something!
I gave myself a deadline of January 15th, that’s been moved to the 30th, to clean and organize my studio. Once again I got stuck and started watching lawnmowing videos again. What I didn’t know was in the process of watching those videos I was learning! I was learning what I liked and didn’t like about various lawn mowing channels, and ultimately what I liked and didn’t like about my studio practice.
I learned I wasn’t just blocked, I was stuck! That’s not necessarily a bad place to be, so long as you eventually move forward, and take note of anything you may have learned during the process of being stuck.
So forward I go with my website and social media, making changes, changes that represent where I am now, and where I intend to go going forward.
