Inspiration can be fleeting and difficult and frustrating for creative people. There can be dry spells that last for years... well for me, it has been years. I wouldn't say that it has been a COMPLETE dry spell. I have been creating great food and really putting a lot of my creative energy in the kitchen. But I have been lacking in the fine arts department for, what seems like, an eternity. I have not picked up a paint brush in...years. Upwards of 5 years. That is depressing.
Why? It is a host of things. I do attribute it, in part, to a lack of inspiration. But it is spring and a change is coming. I've been gearing up and preparing for it. I bought a new easel and some paint. I have canvases all over the damn place. I will buy more. I have a plan. I bought an iPhone and bizarrely have really loved taking photos with it. That has partly been inspiring. I have also been inspired by a these little angels that have recently come into my life. They are... adorable. They have also made me realize that inspiration is everywhere...
yes, inspiration is everywhere! i agree, it is time for you to to paint again! :)
