Apricots and Brass / 10x20 / Oil on Linen PanelWhere does the time go? I thought a week would be ample time to get my studio moved and get back into my everyday routine (I like to think I have a routine...) I was wrong. It's been ten days and I'm still not quite settled, but sometimes I guess you just have to let the birthing go at it's own pace. Right? Unfortunately, this attitude seems to be going head-to-head with my control issues.
The problem is that I haven't painted in over two weeks. Do you get cranky when you can't paint? Do you feel just plain "weird" when you can't paint? Do you get a strange, achy feeling inside when you can't paint? Do you feel disconnected to the universe when you can't paint? Do you want to tell everyone to get lost and spend the next 72 hours alone in front of your easel?
Tomorrow, I'm going to paint. Come hell or high water, last minute taxes, bills to pay, family needs, meals to cook, laundry, etc., I'm going to paint. And I've also been tagged by a couple of wonderful artists. I will get to that as well.
What happens to you when you can't paint? How do you feel? What's your strategy to get through those times and still be sane? I'd love to hear from you.
