Hey skyWhite

Totally understand what you're feeling as I am and Illustrator and abstract oil painter.
Sometimes I go for months without putting anything down on paper or canvas, frustrating and painful. I find that watching movies about famous artists...Modigliani, Jackson Pollock often gives me the kick up the backside that I need, or visiting galleries with a notebook so I can write 'Notes to Self' can have some effect on my motivation. If you don't have any commissions at the present time, ask a friend to give you a project or write a list of subjects. Look for bad designs in advertising...and have a go at doing them better, I find this can often give me a shot in the arm.

Hope this helps SkyWhite. Q.L
