Sometimes I step away from painting for awhile as if I really do need to get me head somewhere else. Usually it is another creative endeavor or sometimes more reading. I am not really sure if this is a way to "stall"or if it is just a needed withdrawl. I suspect the latter.
I find that I have to "do the work" when the creative juice is flowing. If it is not flowing I turn somewhere else for awhile.
I have been working steadily on a knitted lace sweater and that has taken up a lot of my extra time. I use another part of my brain when I am knitting which feels quite different from painting.
I have to be so much more sensitive in my painting and it takes more focus and concentrated effort.
Yesterday I finally sat down and did the preliminary drawing for the next painting. Once I start into it again it seems to take on some momentum, but I do need to feed it.
