I always wonder if other artists feel this cycle! It usually helps me when I can make some sort of small change… or wait for one to happen – spring is just around the corner after all! Your work is always amazing and I’m sure you’ll turn out something wonderful whenever you decide to get back at it :) :)

I’m with Tania in that I try to no longer fight or analyse the ‘mehs’, knowing that they will pass…easier said than done. And if it all gets too much there is always kulfi ice cream from Cool Moon.

I find a date by myself usually helps. As a mom with two little ones I need quietness more than anything. Exploring a hardware store, a candy store or a fabric store at my own slow pace with no interruptions and no agenda does the trick. I simply look at colours, textures and shapes and by the time I drive home images of paintings start flowing in. Hope that helps:)

Maybe it’s ok to feel this way. Maybe it’s a sign that you need to allow yourself some downtime, rest or just the permission to not always have to be ready to produce the next masterpiece. :)

When this happens to me, I fuss for a few days about it then just allow myself a few days to just do what makes me happy that may be unrelated in a way to what I do. Am I making any sense? In a nutshell, gives yourself permission to be ok with the “blahs”. This too shall pass. ;)
