Gosh I missed it… my brushes, my paints and creating.
I took the most of December off to rest and definitely for the holidays… to rest and be with my family undistracted. It did us all good. I know how good it is for me and my creative process too.
Over the past few years, I have been learning to not fight it but rather work with it. It is our summer months and our longest holiday period because it’s the end of the school and university year and mostly, we are tired. I think not fighting myself about my lack of creativity during this time was sound… I am learning, to read the signs, to understand my creative cycles and to listen and respond accordingly. The beautiful thing is that I’ve come home refreshed and not struggling and I’m feeling so ready to paint….
I’m even excited to back #inmystudio
I am not overwhelming myself with too many plans, for now just showing up and working on old recycled canvases first. It feels less intimidating and a gentle way to start the year.
Looking forward to sharing more… Happy creating.
