I had one of those days yesterday... today feels much better.<br />KimKim Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12426293791043467476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4621225576781147800.post-16221953888058537022010-08-09T09:28:50.373-05:002010-08-09T09:28:50.373-05:00it happens to everyone is a recurring theme and I ...it happens to everyone is a recurring theme and I think you needed that time to decompress and take a little trip.

I go up and down all the time.Sometimes I try to paint even when I have no inspiration and sometimes something good comes of it. Other times I wipe it off. Still other times I can't force myself to even try.<br />Oh for that wonderful inspired feeling to wash over me each and every day! An accomplished old master Michael Russo said of his long painting career 'self doubt is a constant companion.'<br />I suspect your work is always good but you just don't always see it that way.<br />Glad you are posting again Karin.Brian Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471425334773152863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4621225576781147800.post-65617021247703487082010-08-05T18:47:09.718-05:002010-08-05T18:47:09.718-05:00Boy, does that make me feel better!
