Attic Vessels Rearranged.


Attic Vessels Rearranged
(acrylic on mountboard, 9 x 7 in)

I'm still suffering something of a creative block: there are things I could paint but the motivation to do so isn't there. I know the advice is "When you can't paint, paint something else" but that's not helping, so the search for a subject with a raison d'être continues.

 Though I'm mostly idle (if just thinking a lot counts as "idle"), I did spend a little time a few days ago making some corrections to this small painting so that it's now finished.

 My Regular Reader may remember that the composition came about after I'd printed off a copy of another small painting, cut out the pots and rearranged them. This is the original:

    It's okay to have fallow periods. If you force art at that time, it will probably look forced. I've tried several times to just retire from art, and in a couple of weeks, ideas and motivation come roaring back. Usually involving a different artform.

    You were right in your comment, as perhaps subsequent posts have proved. I'm now searching for enough time to get all my ideas into paint.
