There are times that the creativity just pours from me, and wont stop almost as if I have to force myself to stop due to time constraints and obligations to STOP. Then there are times when I am trying so hard that I cut my own imagination off and have to do some of these same things....step back look at it from the perspective of a photograph which helps greatly to see things a different way actually...take a break...work on another work of art..so many artist will probably response to this post and say they too can relate I do believe it is the universal imagination cycle for creative beings..Thanks for sharing and reminding me and probably others we are not alone in this! <br />Going shopping for new supplies and techniques is the most fun EVER! Have a blast searching and please do share with us what you find! :)Peculiarme71https://www.blogger.com/profile/15791580921190744899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630569339088016626.post-57278539783146331862012-08-13T08:58:44.304-05:002012-08-13T08:58:44.304-05:00great suggestion to go back to some art journaling...great suggestion to go back to some art journaling...getting off the canvas and onto plain paper that i'm not so attached to is always good. i think part of the thing with me and painting big is that the canvas is a bit intimidating :)<br /><br />best wishes!Juliette Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04269527151508438927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630569339088016626.post-79884973575342735692012-08-13T08:57:31.276-05:002012-08-13T08:57:31.276-05:00yes, it sometimes seems like it would be easier to...yes, it sometimes seems like it would be easier to paint what i've painted before...but i know there is no life to that for me.<br /><br />best wishes!Juliette Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04269527151508438927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630569339088016626.post-26239341231890742072012-08-13T04:07:00.515-05:002012-08-13T04:07:00.515-05:00Thanks for sharing not only what you do when you g...Thanks for sharing not only what you do when you get stuck, but also for being so honest that these sometimes don't even work.

What a lovely garden you must have -inspiration in itself. <br /><br />Whenever I get stuck and spend some moments looking through sketchbooks from years ago, I always feel, as you say, that I used to be able to paint and draw better than I can now.
