Eyes Have It
I think I've lost my Muse. I thought since J's passing, I would want to immerse myself in my art. It's just the opposite. I don't seem to have the interest. I have promised myself I would draw, collage or paint every day. Alas, I'm just not into it. I hope it's temporary, because I have enough stuff in my studio to start my own store. I think I will just set aside some small bit of time each day even if it's to stare at the paper and put a mark on it. I did this really quick sketch not paying attention to values or proportions - just to get something on paper. 
Ah, Marilyn .. sometimes it takes a while to grieve ...be easy on yourself. I'm so sorry this has been such a difficult time ... your plan to simply put pencil to paper is a good one ... I believe it will help ... BIG HUGS ...dear one!
ReplyDeletethis is a great sketch...keep at it!!
ReplyDeleteYes, the "eyes have it!" What wonderful expression.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lin, be easy on yourself and allow yourself to progress at your own pace through the various stages of grief.
I was in a bit of an "art funk" recently and decided to WORK through an art book and it's been inspiring to say the least. You may want to consider something similar.
