A blank white paper....Feels great to touch and smell..and yet that first mark you make on it can create the difference between wanting to carry on,or run ou tof the room and never return....I have just realised my last blog was in September.....! Slowly but surely my happiness levels have been depleted,not because I havent been blogging,but because I havent been painting.....,unless you count walls doors and masonary paint...! Too busy. But today,I have laid out some paper.....! Its been SO long since I painted that I have decided to soak my watercolours....! And Then I am going to ...just play with the colour.....for I know.....like many of you do....that the first mark could be my last......! And I need to be happy.....! What are your tips for kick starting your art again.....? A glass of wine ,sweet music..or country music....an hour or two of no house visitors.....? Tonight after cooking supper,I pledge I will have a go...!
