I hit a dry spell over the holidays. Felt deflated as far as creativity went. So Ric bought me new materials – ink pens, markers, pastels, and paper, lots of paper. Still, none of my photographs were inspiring me. I really wanted to create something from my own imagination, but have little faith in my ability.
So, I doodled vines. Over and over again, till the idea for the featured image came to my mind. Then, I thought of trees. I once loved sketching trees – why not try again. I got whimsical:

Now, I’m stuck on trees, and enjoying the ink so much:

Looks like trees are fulfilling my creative need for the time being.
(Submitted for Eugi’s Causerie weekly prompt: alive. Look for my art on Redbubble, Society6, or Zazzle.)
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing the fruits of your resurgent creativity with us. They’re delightful. I don’t worry about coming up dry during the holidays. I find them so stressful, I’m happy to just survive them.

I’m in a dry spell, too. All I’ve been painting are bedroom walls and trim. And all I’ve been writing are To Do lists. Looks like you’ve come out of it well. Love them all!
