Every once in a while I get out my study books and reset my thought processes. You would think it is automatic by now, but I find it very easy to get distracted by day to day issues. This time I am seeking creativity…. again.
Creative thinking is elusive at times. I think of it like a door to the infinity possibilities of rearranging the norm and still making sense.
The most creative artists are said to ‘think outside the box’ to rebel against the norm. This is a blessing and a curse. Once a piece has been done successfully and it is innovative and different, the artist is faced with the problem of doing it again. Of finding yet another different innovative approach. Ah the agony, but the payoff, now that is always worth it.
What is so odd is the end result never looks as difficult as it once seemed. When a piece is ‘right’ the incubation period becomes a memory.

Jen,
It's been a good long time since I looked at what you're doing and I was blown away. The dogs..... are wonderful, your line, their attitude and wow the color too. We need to continue our conversation. I think of him most days, in a way that I never did before. Some part of me thought that he would be around, you know, forever. And now that he isn't he is even more at the front of my mind.
