Thank you for in the past visiti...Hello, Dear Jess. Thank you for in the past visiting my page. I read your post this morning and was immediately inclined to write. What is your purpose as an artist? And isn't that always evolving? Only you can know. Where is your artwork going, and do you have to have that answer now or later? Many will say trust the process, but it is more... your process is a manifestation of your life and you. It is a messy terrain: happy, glum, confused, successful, strange, elated, all of it. So human. The soil of creativity grows more fertile by experiencing all the in-betweens. It helps develop sensitivity and can lead to break-throughs and more authenticity. It grows artists to struggle and find resolution. Good on you for your candidness. It is your path, and no one else's. That is very precious. I wish you strength and wish you well. <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164548994721698171.post-23816317511780617782014-05-01T16:41:33.389+01:002014-05-01T16:41:33.389+01:00Thankyou all so much for your really helpful comme...Thankyou all so much for your really helpful comments. :) I'm spending time with my sketchbook with no expectations and I'm slowly getting back into the groove again! xxJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593348601123003194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164548994721698171.post-71511354555071320842014-05-01T00:55:44.679+01:002014-05-01T00:55:44.679+01:00Ha, exactly the situation I'm in at the moment...Ha, exactly the situation I'm in at the moment! You're not alone, that's for sure. Lately everything I try turns out blah and I'm getting more frustrated by the day. Might be information overload, might be too much inspiration, I don't know. I only know I have this every now and then and it always passes. But while you're in the middle of it it can be really frustrating.

Although of course most of those producing will have struggled with maintaining creativity at some time or another. I don't have any good tips other than what you're already doing. But I do know that it will pass, so hang on in there! Wishing you energy and inspiration.

I remember once when i had a jewelry business, I just could not sit down and make any more one day... i wondered what i would do if i felt that way forever. 5 days later i was looking forward to making jewelry. <br /><br />perhaps your spirit is guiding you to another experience you will have when you fill your time with what ever inspires you. Not permanently, but maybe one hour or day. <br /><br />I trust you will be enjoying art any moment or day, it is such a big part of you and i can feel your heart and spirit in the things you create. <br /><br />lovely to see your photos and art. <br /><br />xoTammie Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279605745446513635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164548994721698171.post-72452466716936016642014-04-28T23:21:36.205+01:002014-04-28T23:21:36.205+01:00Ohhh Jess, I think you've answered your questi...Ohhh Jess, I think you've answered your questions in the last sentence ..... ;-) Sometimes, looking at the explosions of colour of Kaffe Fasset (I have some of his books) makes you just numb, you can't think of doing anything yourself !

I understand that this is all part of the creative process, though; I think we all have moments of feeling unaccomplished or stuck for inspiration. I've definitely felt better about certain things since moving back from sites like Facebook. I find much more peace and inspiration in blogging and reading others' blogs.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164548994721698171.post-89910099884333575192014-04-28T21:45:55.872+01:002014-04-28T21:45:55.872+01:00Jess,

All artists get stuck once in awhile, and so do writers. So, I hope this helps some, and I wouldn't worry too much about it.......your pictures are very special, filled with loveliness, and always make me smile.<br /><br />love,<br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164548994721698171.post-49315139997777263862014-04-28T21:39:12.530+01:002014-04-28T21:39:12.530+01:00Perhaps as you say Jess it is inspiration overload...Perhaps as you say Jess it is inspiration overload, but whatever it is I am sure it will pass, time and space to breathe, with no pressure.
