Artist Block

       Artists have their ups and down just like everyone else.  We have days of mind blowing creativity and other days of “artist block” where nothing gets done. That’s just how it is. But what we do with those less creative days are what makes the other days so motivating. What should or can an artist do in these kinds of drought days? Oh the days of imaginative droughts! When these times appear they can last for a day or for several days, there’s really no way to know how long it will be. These are the days when we study. Yes, study. No I don't mean text books. I mean study the works of other artists, read great inspirational books, listen to music, go for long a walk, go to a new place and watch what happens, go visit someone, drink some tea or coffee (OH AND DON'T FORGET YOUR SKETCHBOOK).  The point is to do something to spark new ideas.
