Blogging As Inspiration

Haiku 107 – Acrylic on Cradled Panel, 8x8x2″

Do you love reading blogs for inspiration as much as I do? Well, I’m coming to the conclusion that the very act of blogging provides inspiration for my own work. At least it provides incentive. If I know that you are interested in reading about what I’ve been doing in the studio, then I feel more motivated to actually do something in the studio.

It’s been too easy just to put the art on the back burner while I occupy myself with other things (like the holidays for one!) But if I have a regular blogging schedule, it makes me think more about creating art. And if I’m not in the studio for too long, at some point withdrawal begins to kick in.

So we’re at that point right now. Withdrawal. At least this week I have made a few new collage papers and feel very excited about that. Could some new collage be far behind? And perhaps even more blog posts? One can hope.

Note:  The above painting is some of my new work at Michael Murphy Gallery in Tampa, Florida.
