Inspiration...now there's a topic for you. As an artist, I am always hoping to find inspiration, in order to make work, but sometimes months can go by without it. In my experience, slumps happen just as often as productive periods. Sometimes all it takes is a change of scenery to shake out of it. Next week, I am packing up my art supplies for a family vacation to northern Minnesota and hoping this view will inspire me! Happy summer and may you find the inspiration for all of your creative endeavors!
Hi Jane,
Ahh, yes. The inevitable ebb and flow of inspiration of artists! 😌 Sometimes it feels like trying to catch lightning in a jar. ⚡️
Great to hear that you’re carving out space for it anyway, even amidst the quiet spells. Northern Minnesota sounds like the perfect reset!
It's true that just being somewhere new—surrounded by trees, water, and a little stillness—can nudge the muse out of hiding.
Wishing you a restorative trip, and may your brushes meet the page with fresh energy!
Warmly,
Vivek
Thank you, Vivek! I hope your summer is going well. 😊🌞
