I will switch out to work on my weaving or spinning for a while and that normally allows my brain to work through whatever it needs so the creativity and insights return. What gets me worse, however, is interruptions by life. I can be in the middle of a wonderful creative flow and working every day and producing good work and then there is a crisis… someone dies, gets sick, gets pregnant, gets married, and my precious time in the studio is just gone! It doesn’t help that I work at a stressful job Mon through Fri. … And I fall out of synch. I’m going to deliberately try plein air work this weekend despite anticipated high heat and see if I can push through and push some paint around.
