You bring up a great point about how much work we can do before lifting a brush. It speaks to the intuitive mind which is a hugely powerful tool. Thanks for commenting!

I've been painting in my head for about a year now - delaying the real work toward an October 2009 deadline. Yesterday, I finally started smearing paint over an old canvas with great enthusiasm so hopefully I'm on a roll and maybe I won't have to rely on other options for the Oct show - we'll see! I'd rather be "Zenlke" than stressed but maybe some of both is good for the outcome. Hey Bruce, – Re: starting over.

The creative bursts are great, then we rethink the issue. That's rich territory to explore. For starters, I might ask if the initial burst isn't really a gem without need for further work? If not, coming back to it later might help reveal what the initial impulse was all about. Thanks for writing and let's keep it rolling... Patsy, I know what you mean.

Seems always start and stop. I get a creative burst and then after it's done, it's so hard to get rolling again. And I get bored too when it seems my work is getting too easy, so then it's finding a way to challenge myself. I haven't been brave enough to schedule something ahead of time although I know I work better under a deadline too. I look forward to reading your blog and as always look forward to your new bodies of work. Hello Brucey,

Glad someone else has “keep rolling” issues…I certainly do. Seems always start and stop. I get a creative burst and then after it’s done, it’s so hard to get rolling again. And I get bored too when it seems my work is getting too easy, so then it’s finding a way to challenge myself. I haven’t been brave enough to schedule something ahead of time although I know I work better under a deadline too.

I look forward to reading your blog and as always look forward to your new bodies of work.
