Poppy, this afternoon I took a different approach. I tried a medium I haven't used in years... digital art. I got lost in it, was wonderful feeling. Though it isn't any masterpiece I hope it starts to "wake up" some of my favorite outlets... actually getting my hands into clay, pastels, or paint.
Point trying to make, is maybe if we step out of our "usual" mediums, we might jolt ourselves into creativity and passion again. dunno... see what happens
