This weekend I joined a crew of fellow
North River Arts Society members
for a spring clean up.
It was a real treat to finally re-connect and chat
with fellow artists while we worked.
Many of us reported having piles of unfinished and experimental
work in our studios after this year of lock down.
When I got home I decided to attack some of mine with a
”what difference does it make!” approach.
“Salty Dog Studio”
16 x 20 oil
I painted over this rather up tight, over-worked piece
I’d done this winter.
There was also a lot of talk about feeling lost, frustrated,
uninspired and unsure of where to take their work;
clearly a direct result of working alone for so long.
As artists, we thrive on interaction
and sharing our ideas with each other,
probably more than most careers.
Hang in there fellow artists!
We can do this.
