It's been a tired Spring





So far, this Spring has started with me finding myself just tired all of the time. I am not producing nearly what I am used to doing and it feels like what I do make takes forever. I am not sure why. This has been a hard year full of changes and I still am not sure where I belong. I keep going back over things I have done and want to do again and I wonder how did I do it? So, I will see how things go.

Photos are always nice so here are a few. My relatives are very interesting and funny people!

i hear ya. i'm in the same boat, inspiration/work-wise. the planets must not be in proper alignment for us right now. but lots of new things always come from periods of change...we just have to be patient, i suppose.

excellent photos!

I'm in autumn here myself, and I'm still having the same problem! Usually the colder weather makes me more energetic and inspired, but for some reason I just can't do as much as I previously was. Updating the Etsy shop feels like a chore lately, and nothing I make is quite what I wanted. This being an artist thing is harder than it looks!

Thanks everyone! I am sorry that many of us are in the same boat! My friend Lorianne told me about the Venus in retrograde thing, but I have been feeling like this for a long time. But, I need to look back to the shows I did last fall, commissions and big dolls that I have made recently. I think maybe we are all getting ready to make something new-I did a drawing last night that was not like my old paintings and monotypes at all so maybe there will be change. Lorianne has had a surge of creativity so I think it can happen.

And thanks Tashapixie! I have been resting and recharging-maybe I went overload on that-ha. I have so many ideas-I am having trouble extracting them! Thanks for always thinking of me and my art!
Love, merle

There are moments or I create nothing I either then I get fresh ideas with my family and the nature and that returns ^^

Sorry for the traduction... I hope you will undestand what I want to say.
