Fall is here!…..sort of…..

My energy is slowly, repeat…slowly, returning. I am still tremendously overwhelmed but now that there is some relief from the heat, I am feeling the tingle of creativity trickling in. Odd how simple things as outside temperatures have an effect on creativity. It does for me that is for sure! Now, to see where I can fit a little painting in. Surely there is a spot in my day…somewhere. Maybe after my 10:30pm gym runs?

Bah, it will go somewhere. All I know is that the mornings are crisp and cool and I can take the baby out for a walk at a normal time. I even feel like doing a bit of yard work. Which is awesome because there was some serious garden neglect going on this summer.

Fall is here and I’m ready to don on my favorite sweater and go buy spice candles and carve punkins!

Much Love,
Wenders

Where’s Wenders

True artist are sulky and reclusive…. right?  Of course this is not so easy when one has to be present for a  family but that is pretty much all I have to give artistically now.

Several weeks ago, I took an unexpectical, unintentional step back from my work and blogging.  Unfortunately it was right in the middle of a pretty busy time, and oddly during a surge of creative ideas.  Is this sabotage or sabbatical? Sabbotatical? … Tell me brain.  Tell me now!   If it was a sabbatical of sort then I spent the whole time anxious.  Even after working a few things out with my brain, I still feel nervous and blocked.  Still friends…but blocked none-the-less.

I suppose it is difficult to “create” under such conflicting feelings but I endeavor to muck through.  I’m just hoping my existential artistic crisis is winding down soon, and I stop being so dang avoidant…which is what it truly feels like.   I look at the piles in my studio and think, “no thanks”.  I see all the unfinished work and I want to work on something else.

I’m generally on the bandwagon of personal growth and triumph, but realistically I think as an artist I work better by having a few blue periods.  That’s my new excuse anyway.  There has to be something to it though…

btw it has taken me three days to do this poorly constructed blog post….just wrong brain….just wrong :-(…..

That is all,

Wenders

still alive

Never fear, I’m still here. I’m hopefully in the end stages of a critical creative malfunction. I’m not exactly sure what came over me, but it mainly involved physical exhaustion and lack of time. Little Mr. 6 month old reserves most of my time and energy these days so the reserves deplete quickly.

Nevertheless, there are still many exciting ideas in the works. There will be more details coming soon so stay tuned.

Peace and Love
