Lately I have been feeling incredibly stuck in regards to my creativity. I haven't been painting or collaging or even journaling much. I've done a bit more journaling in the past few weeks, but it still feels like I am pulling teeth to get anything creative out of myself. I am typically much more prolific in summer and fall. Everything comes easy to me then. I barely have to think about paintings in the summer--ideas are plentiful and executing them seems easy. But then things start slowing down during the fall and once winter hits--forget it.
I'd like to learn more about how to create during the difficult times as well. When times are slow and the ideas aren't as easy. I am thinking if I want to become more of a professional artist, spending half the year creatively dormant just isn't going to cut it. Perhaps I will learn that it is just part of my natural pattern of creativity--I don't know. Maybe I will focus more on other aspects of being an artist during that half of the year. But I would like to learn to be at least somewhat creative during this time. Maybe slow down but not come to a complete stop.
My most favorite piece of art I have done lately is for an altered book round robin that I am a part of right now. I was assigned the cover by the owner of the book and this is what I came up with:

First of all, I love this blog! I will be checking it all the time!
Perhaps you could form a local art group in the winter. Just a few artists to inspire each other. Just a thought.
