Thank you for sharing some glimpses of blue sky here today! We have lost ours with rain on the way so your haiku was perfect. Love seeing these cards and your art-making. Always. You so inspire me! I hope this finds you dancing to some music and paint my friend! XO

Don’t we all have times like these, Marit?! For me “just getting on with it” even when I don’t feel like it is a way to light that spark of creativity once again. As Julia Cameron says in her wonderful book “The Artist’s Way,” just “showing up at the page” everyday is important, even if you end up throwing it all away. In that book she has some great suggestions to help blocked artists find a sense of flow, again. When painter Georgia O’Keeffe was feeling like her art was going nowhere, she restricted herself to drawing only with black charcoal on large pieces of newsprint paper for days and days until, she says, “the things I had in my head to put down could no longer be expressed without using color.”

Even a low dike can keep back the mighty sea! Thanks for taking us along to listen to the waves break.

Creative ATCs and lovely haiku ~ we all have ‘those days’ ~ I try to look at it as a need for a respite and perhaps, that I am ‘pushing the envelope’ and need to ‘let it be.’

Happy Day to you,
