Creative Blocks
I haven't created anything in a couple of weeks. Depression was pretty bad a couple of weeks ago but it didn't keep me from drawing. The last two weeks have been much better from a depression point of view, but creatively I've been stuck. I admire people who create every day, rain or shine. I just received some frames so I can work but I have no ideas. There is an old trick I learned a long time ago, and that is cleaning my studio. This sometimes gets my juices flowing. It doesn't work all the time but it can often do the trick. Sometimes going to old journals helps. I have drawings scattered throughout my journals and these can be inspiring. We'll see what happens. I miss having other artists around to commiserate with, or to kick ideas around with. I have been wanting to e-mail some artists I have found online, but so far I haven't tried.

A Joy to Create
The work that I just created: I wonder if anything is impossible to a God....is one of my favorite quotes. I wish that I knew who the creator was. I look for quotes like this to express what it is that I believe. Sometimes my dark moods keep me from seeing the glory of God's creations, but this is rare. Sunsets can be seen in all their glory from my kitchen window and I love to look as well to try to draw them.
