Artist's Block Print E-mail

My Studio


I'll admit it...I'm suffering from a little bit of artist's block, if there is such a thing...

Monday morning I found myself in the village with extra time on my hands and so treated myself to a wonderful early lunch in the garden room at La Lanterna Caffe. I sat next to the fountain and had the space to myself for part of my stay.

It was heavenly. After I finished my Canadian Bacon & Brie Panini, I enjoyed the rest of my organic breakfast tea and wrote on the back of a random printout I had in my bag. A true and unexpected artist date.

Last night was a different story. I was feeling too drained to create after a long day at the office and my noisy upstairs neighbor disrupting my peace. I couldn't even bring myself to make dinner...opting for take out pizza instead.

How do you get back in the creative groove when life gets in the way?

XO

Oh I definitely get creative block! I used to be frustrated by it, perhaps through a fear it'd never return. Now I accept creativity, like all of life, has an ebb and flow, peaks and troughs. Usually when I've been stuck for a while I get a sudden creative urge at some point ...like the dam releasing! I just do other stuff until inspiration strikes.

Whenever I get artists block I take myself on an inspiration hunt. Take a camera and just go out. It makes me start looking at everything differently. I am looking for a shot. Anything...cool rocks, flowers, insects, people, etc. It's amazing how much better I feel when I'm done.

A walk in the woods, a quiet lunch at the pub with a book...anything that gets me away from the screen and out of the kitchen! (just for awhile) :) Theresa
