I think I'm over thinking everything too much. I'm over thinking my website, and I think I'm just causing more harm than good. I'm over thinking this drawing, and I'm not enjoying it anymore. I'm over thinking future concepts and I'm not taking the time to just enjoy the simple ideas that I have for future works. I have some great photos of my niece that I'd like to draw, I'd also like to try to draw my daughter with bubbles (I have a lot of great photos of her blowing bubbles). I also have photography that I need to sort through that I forgot about in the middle of all the stress. I think I need to stop concentrating on shows and galleries and the size of my portfolio and just focus on my art. I need to just go with what comes my way and maybe one idea will lead to another and it will snowball into a great series. If not I should at least end up with great work that doesn't really relate to each other. I don't have to have a series to have a good portfolio of work.
The fine art of portraits and figures...
I'm currently working in charcoal, pencil and colored pencil. This blog is updated regularly with works in progress, and general updates relating to my art work. On occasion I will post articles about art history or other art related topics and a few pieces of my photography.

Hi Jessica, This is so lovely! I often work on a few things at once so if I get burned out on it, I put it away for a few days (or months). Create what you love and the rest will come naturally!
Thank you : )
I may start doing that when I start painting again. Maybe do a painting and a drawing at the same time.
Right now I'm just trying to beat my deadline. I have less than two weeks to finish it though.
Of course I also have the fear that if I put something down I'll never come back to it.
Thanks for the advice : )
