I haven’t been as productive as I have been in the past years when it comes to making art. Work has simply been too busy. When I get home at the end of the day, after doing all the necessary life stuff like making dinner, laundry and kiddie bedtime duties, all I want to do is to roll into bed myself and scroll through random YouTube videos or Pinterest pictures. Hence, it took me a very long time to finish this particular commission. I am very glad it’s done as it’s for a Father’s Day present, and that the client was very pleased with it.
I have to admit I have been feeling a distinct lack of creative mojo lately. I am not sure whether it is because of my general tiredness, or whether it is because I am a little tired of painting similar stuff for commissions over and over again. Perhaps it is time to take a break from commissions, and to break new artistic ground.
The next project I am hoping to do is for an old nursing friend of mine. But perhaps she won’t mind too much if I experiment a little with her particular project…..
