Finally, after months of indecision, brooding and lethargy I finished a painting that was started last fall. It feels very good to finish and I actually like the results. It is the third in the sunflower theme consisting of two mixed media paintings and one linocut. There are orchids blooming in my living room and blank canvases in the basement - I feel an orchid series coming on!
It seems like I always have bouts of creativity that come in fits and starts - that's just the way I am and I've decided not to worry but just accept it. Sometimes I actually lay awake at night worrying about what I'm doing wrong or what I should be painting to be more successful in the sales department. I'm giving myself a lecture here - Just Do It - whatever 'it' is at that moment and who cares if anyone else likes it. As long as I'm happy and I see that my artwork is improving, that's all that really matters. That's my story and I'm sticking with it!

I hear you, Heather - I suffer the same affliction. I'm glad you've shaken the blues and got some creativity flowing again; feels good when it comes, doesn't it? Lovely painting, and sure looks great with the linocut.
This is a beautiful stylish painting Heather. I love the paint inside the square.
This is lovely. I think the combination of linocut and painting is stellar!
There is a wonderful contrast between the colours on this piece. It has a very relaxing and comforting feel to it.
