Now - Ha! my life and work feels very scattered. Distracted, scattered and feeling a lack of direction is my creative enemy these days. My friend called it a "season" that this is just a season in my life and it too shall pass. A growing pain of sorts. It feels so uncomfortable like I am having a creative identity crisis. I guess it is all necessary for growth but it sucks! Thanks for your share!

I hate those stages where everything is a WIP but then you get those few days where 10 things come together and you've got lovely new things everywhere. Then, after that, you look around and think "What's next?" and jump right back into the jumble.<br /><br />Your painting is sweet as can be.Nicholahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895793578601174625noreply@blogger.com
