Have you ever felt like you lost your creative flow, your unique magic, your artistic MOJO. Like the magic that comes out of your creations is SLIGHTLY missing.
Well... I have been feeling this lately, mostly due to the fact that I have been under the weather and also the fact that my focus seamed to have steered away from just CREATING FOR PLEASURE.
Today, I reached out to some dear ladies on a private photography group on FB and by just talking and hearing that I am not alone, it was EXACTLY what I needed.
I went to my fridge and pulled out this egg to try to capture an image to post on my ART OF TEXTURE group. Now you may think this is just a shot of an egg yolk, but for me, it is more than that. I feel a little magic in this shot, something personal to all artists. Maybe it's the reflection, maybe it's the color or just how my texture sits perfectly on this image.
We sometimes feel we are the only ones stuck in a creative rut, whereas in reality we are NOT IN THIS ALONE.
Are you finding yourself focusing on too many new ideas at once? This may bring confusion to your creative flow. Choose one thing and FOCUS on it. Like my eggs. One simple item made my day.
For all of you who have been posting in my ART OF TEXTURE GROUP, thank you so much for being there even if I haven't been so good this month in participating.
hugs

Eggactly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've totally been there, and only just now have gotten back in the groove. I have been scattered, trying to figure out what my focus is...Not sure if I've found it , but I believe in the divine plan, and am just following my nose to see where it takes me. :) I love these shots, and I'm glad you're getting your groove back! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. Yes the groove always returns it's just distracting when it arrives. One thing for sure you all inspire me daily. xo
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean… I find it's been really hard for me lately, and there are times when I feel I don't have an outlet & wish I had someone to talk to that really gets me & can help me get over the hump. Everyday recently, I think okay, you've still got time for Eva's texture group for the month of February, and here we are, the last day, and an extra one at that!!! and still I have nothing. boo. It's such a struggle. I'm happy you found some mojo in the form of eggs ;) It's always nice to know you're not going the road alone… hugs!!
ReplyDeleteHonestly my group is a NO STRESS one, I know how hard it is to keep up. We need to create not by force but by desire and passion. Maybe we all found a nice outlet to inspire us. xo
