Not Much

Been in one of those creative funks this week when nothing seems worth doing.

Did a bit of sketching to play with Derwent Inktense pencils. I like. They look like a watercolor pencil but are ink. After you add water, they are waterproof and nice and intense in color.

And when all else fails, I take out my journal and do some quick painting and collage just to be moving.


And then I wait.

I'm a great fan of the inktense pencils too. Your still life is wonderful as are those journal pages.
I always tend to fall back on my journalling when I get into a bit of a funk, gets things happening again.

we all droop sometimes -- and it seems like you've been on a tear...

I very much like the portrait. But I hesitate to write that, since the point is to keep moving and not get approval, right?

Seriously, the chunky planes of color are very loose and yet suggestive... Nice.

Something about a funk that makes the emergent so wonderful a feeling worth waiting for.
