Grey, windy, rainy February days open and close… the week went by without highlights and I seem to have lost my mojo, nothing good came out of my hands. Nature as well as I are waiting for the sun to return and days like the one on the photo…<\/p>\n

Fiday haiku<\/strong><\/p>\n

Photo made by my friend Lena Schreijenberg<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
de zon in mijn rug
\nver achter de lage dijk
\nbreken de golven<\/td>\n		<\/td>\nthe sun at my back
\nthe sound of breaking waves, far
\nbehind the low dike<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

So… my mojo is gone but I’ve experienced days like this before. I am familiar with times when nothing seems to work, when I feel detached from my art and myself and am a little lost. I know it is no big deal and the flow will return, one just cannot force it. I have some tricks up my sleeve to get through these times and one of them is to take a colouring book and just ‘colour’ without thinking too much. Another thing I do is make ATCs, ‘just’ glue some pieces of paper and add a bit of paint’ on a small card. It doesn’t have to be pretty and if I don’t like it I can throw it away, but it is important to create ‘something’ to keep in touch with my creative side. Here’s what came out of my hands yesterday.<\/p>\n

When I uploaded the above photo to my computer, I noticed I had some more photos\/ATC’s waiting in line. I created these last year but never showed them on my blog…<\/p>\n

… and now I’m off to put on the music in my atelier and splash some paint on paper. I don’t know what comes out of that but I figured that adding color, any color, to the day will do me good. I wish you all a colorful day.<\/p>\n
