For whatever combination of reasons, I haven't been very creative recently. I've had a long interlude during which I've written very little, drawn / painted very little. I have sat in front of a blank canvas or empty notebook a few times feeling uninspired; but mostly not. Mostly I have just been getting on with life.
Last Sunday, 1st August, I picked up paint and paint brushes. I created something. It isn't brilliant. But it is, one way or another, something you might call art.
The second one, produced over the last couple of days, I like more.
But I'm not really sharing these because of what they look like. I'm sharing them because they are the evidence I have rediscovered some creative energy. As a primary school teacher I'm very familiar with the concept that it is about the process not the product. These are part of a process. Today, I am happy to feel like I want to be playing with colour again.
I am no art critic but I like the first painting. I think it could be transformed in fabric for anything from curtains to a dress/summer skirt/top. The second one is a bit odd I think. I like the background but the white dotty lines on top are a bit od to me. That's my humble opinion Steph but keep painting and writing as long as you enjoy doing it.
