Woe as me. I have been seized by a creative energy and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. Oh, I know what I would LIKE to do with it. I would like to begin a painting. I have all the supplies you could feasibly want to begin acrylic painting (yes, including canvas) but I have no idea of WHAT I would like to paint. A really frustrating feeling. Of course, I also don't have the time I would like to have to do this, nor a decent location for it. I'm going to pop from this feeling.
My problem has never been in the actual doing. I have been able to create something if I've really wanted to. Heck, I've made a pair of full-sized crimson wings for a costume because I wanted to. Spent three weeks hot glueing every single feather in place. They turned out very nicely for a first attempt. I've even made and painted a sculpture of a creature I made up. My real problem is getting the creative idea I need to start on something. It's very frustrating.
Sitting and thinking about it hasn't really helped the matter. I'm guessing I need to broaden myself more in some way so I can get more of an idea flow going. My creative thoughts are pretty stagnant. I keep monofocusing on basically one set of ideas. I need some inspiration, and I'm at a loss as to where to go for it. I guess I'll have to see what I can do about my problem. Hopefully something will come to me.
