Taking a break is a great idea! <BR/>I agree completely with Nancy and Karine. As Karine said,"play" with art and work in a different medium, and do something just for me." I think that's what's so great about a painting a day. It is just for me! I have forgotten what others will think or say, and I've done what I love to do...PAINT!!!<BR/>I love,love,love to paint!!!!!!! Even when they don't turn out exact,I see things I need to work on. I learn something new everytime I do a new painting a day.<BR/>Once you are through with your show I believe you will enjoy your 100x100 with Mavis. Cut loose,do it only for you and you will enjoy every stroke of luxurious paint.<BR/>I'm so thankful to have such gifted, wonderful artist's/friends like you to help me through (-:Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514896343340315241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745433199120381104.post-57503436349305555522009-01-26T08:45:00.000-08:002009-01-26T08:45:00.000-08:00I second what Nancy says about "your failed painti...I second what Nancy says about "your failed paintings would be triumphs for most of us". Be kind to yourself. I think cleaning out the studio is a great idea. <BR/><BR/>To get myself out of a slump, I also take a break, but then I make an effort to "play" with art. Work in a different medium, and do something just for me. That usually helps! <BR/><BR/>I am confident you will recover, but if you need a warm up, you DO have a friend in Southern California!

I love ...Hi Patty, *waving paws* what a great post! I love the half peach on your vision board and can't help but wonder about that one. You realize at your level, your failed paintings would be triumphs for most of us? <BR/>I get through slumps by forcing myself to do prep work when I'm not painting. And the sheer drudgery of the office day job, when I'd rather be home painting, sure does help get my hiney into the studio when I'm home. <BR/>You're just resting and building up mojo right now for your next masterpiece. Even the muses need a nap once in a while. ;)<BR/>xxoooAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03304594962282706787noreply@blogger.com
