a day in the studio and maybe a little art
Monday, December 30, 2013 at 5:00AM Fifteen minutes of ART at a time might be all I get these days, but at least it is something. I look forward to that time and I look forward to being in the studio. Sometimes just being on that stool is all it takes to make a less than perfect day better.
To be honest, some days I get on that stool and nothing happens. I sit, I look around, I rearrange some things. I rearrange some more. Every day isn't always the most inspiring. This is real life people and it just has this way of butting to the front of the line.
Other days you get a break. You grab a brush and the ideas flow out of you. You create five journal pages before you realize you ever sat down. You end the day with muddy water and painted hands. These days make the days we sit on our stool and wonder what the hek we are doing in the first place worth it...so enjoy the good days and the bad days will just have to take a back seat.

Thank you for your post! The past few months have been full of bad days, but now I am happy to know I am not alone and that even great artists like you have a bad day or two ;-)
Love your approach! I am going to add in 15 minutes art journaling into my days too - next year! :-)
I really need to try the 15 min a day for certain! even if like you say, some days nothing happens, at least I am giving it a try and when I do get the time and have ideas to put down I will be ready and can do them!! Thanks I need a new something to get me motivated in 2014!!
You are so sweet Irma - ! We just need to keep our chins up- eh? xo
