I lost my muse a few months ago. I don't think I've ever gone so long. I wondered where my inspiration was hiding and if it would ever return. I just didn't feel creative either with photography or painting/drawing. Has this happened to you? If so what do you do? Hopefully I have found my muse once more. I kept looking at other artists' work. I continued to work on Kim Klassen's classes. I mean if I can't get inspired while watching her videos, then I am in real trouble. I'm starting to paint again. I thought it appropriate to photograph a few supplies and a couple base layer paintings. I don't want to get too serious here just yet.
My favorite paints are Golden. I have others - Liquitex is good too, but there is something about Golden. I particularly like their fluid acrylics. Sometimes I use specialty paints like Jacquard or Stuart Gill's "Byzantine". The Byzantine line is metallic and very beautiful.
Hope you all have a great day!

Glad you're at it again, you are so talented!
ReplyDeleteAs for me, I don't have a muse, so I plod along
and when I am not in the mood to one thing
I shift to another and another till I
catch on to something that works? TMI?
Picasso said, "inspiration exists,
but it has to find you working".
I have times like that too Marilyn. Especially if I have tapped out my creativity by working on something intense for a while. It definitely helps if you have a couple of different kinds of creative things going on to dabble in. I have my metal work. Also getting out and traveling around inspires me. Can't wait to see what you create!
