Hmmm, what if I just let go, stop wrestling and tell it to back off?

I've been blogging for years but it was all tangled up in the me that wasnt really being me. The blocked me. It was more a vent than a blog. This feels like the right thing to do now, to have a diary of whats happening and for it to be exactly like you said Dan - a sort of repository and blank canvas to be filled. Shirley- I know what you mean and I think its easy to cage up in your own fears once you have a commission. The key to solving this I think is to let go. To not think and just do it and give it that same wonder you give your 'casual' sketches - I'm very glad to hear you have finished it!Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223791226215752932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938248484385297346.post-23726341242829072882010-06-27T11:08:32.949-07:002010-06-27T11:08:32.949-07:00I think of my blog as a blank canvas, a sort of a ...I think of my blog as a blank canvas, a sort of a repository for anything I care to fill it with. I love your first post - already there is a wonderful sketch, a creative color drawing (love the creativity of the collage of flowers around the face), great photography (you found the prettiest part of Richmond, I think - I've been there) and thoughtful writing. All in all a wonderful combination. I love the hair-flowing shot, and the composition of the cats picture. But beware, a blog is a hungry beast! ;)Dan Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130079803891606515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938248484385297346.post-31933134052406454642010-06-27T09:24:39.427-07:002010-06-27T09:24:39.427-07:00Your blog looks great!

Both are really lovely and I can't wait to see more. I think everyone of us constantly battles our internal critic. I can subdue mine when I "just doing this casual little sketch - quickly" but was paralyzed when I agreed to my first and only commission. I call this block "my fear of failure" and can only get by it when I analyze the stakes. I finally finished.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958521401452327377noreply@blogger.com
