There is a different feel in my art and creativity this year! A new energy, surging through my work as though I am suddenly plugged in to an outlet of limitless possibilities. Things all around me, people, places, animals, colors are brighter, almost as though I am focusing through a lens; like pieces of a puzzle sliding into place with a click.
There is however the evil distractor in my ear, " hey it's not good enough, they won't like it, the color is all wrong, you're not really an artist, it doesn't look like the picture, go play video games, go do something mindless, it doesn't really make a difference if you are in your studio today!
I feel like it is a fight a struggle to really not listen to this distractor, my anti muse. Ooh it has a name, Anti-muse. I need to figure out what to do to placate her and make her stay out of my ear. She appears whenever a painting is almost done, when I think it looks great, there she is poking at me. The more I work, the more she seems to avoid me, but always manages to check in at the very wrong moment.
I have made a decision, to ignore her and create on. It's a new year and it's going to be Grrrrrreat!
