Umph.

That's more of a sound than a word. I'm tired and fed up. I've got about 7 paintings on the go and none of them interest me at all. It's my summer funk. It's too hot and I can't sleep or relax properly. I've been stuck in the same place too long and I feel stagnant. I want something imediate to work with. Not great big paintings that lose their relation in a matter of hours or minutes. Normally because they won't dry or dry to fast. It's not that I don't have inspiration. More that I don't really care about the inspiration. Or the process. I am talking painting wise as I'm still very much enjoying working with clay. There are too many other elements that I'm bored of. I'm not connecting with my subject matter and not feeling. I think in actuality I've over connected. I feel raw and tight around it. Restricted to a degree. I dislike so much that I'm stuck finding elements to like and explore. So I'm going to start something new. I bought some shitty cheap blank postcards and I'm going to paint on those grotty things. Paint, doodle, wipe up mess, just let go of everything for a bit. I don't think it'll bear fruit, but it's worth a try.
