Finding piles of unfinished artwork or a stash of beads, blank canvases, etc is a great way to get motivated. 90% of the time, when I'm in the 'slump of creativity' i find myself finishing a huge pile of unfinished pieces. Its both a catharsis and rewarding process!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03076242206650033429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34644906.post-20692410660184430332016-01-13T16:40:24.180-05:002016-01-13T16:40:24.180-05:00okay, it is Wednesday and I am still getting the T...okay, it is Wednesday and I am still getting the Tuesday post!

I clear my art table. Then set out some paints, a container of water, my brushes and my journal or watercolour pad - all ready to sit down and begin at any time. walking past it several times it a day - it calls to me to sit down and just quickly draw or paint something. As I sit down I find myself hours later having fun and thinking - hey wait - I was supposed to be doing a 10 minute thing here!!!! :)Angella Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15599657851255423149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34644906.post-64024699979302862882016-01-13T00:21:39.461-05:002016-01-13T00:21:39.461-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11588872997309966816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34644906.post-43727402006933322382016-01-13T00:06:51.805-05:002016-01-13T00:06:51.805-05:00love your birds!

My one and usually only way to give myself that push when finding I am in a slump is to get on line and visit all the creative blogs for which I belong.
