Many of us need to complete a task, finish an assignment, or just to be creative. Sometimes we just can't get it right. Our mind wanders to other places, and the muse been gone away. We know we NEED to do something, or to get it done, but the more we try, it looks more and more difficult. In these cases, sometimes it's better to relax, and to leave the assignment for a while. Go for a walk, drink a glass of wine and listen to music or just go to sleep. When your mind is relaxed - the muse/solution will come to visit.
It happened to me the other day, I felt like I have to create something, but I had no idea what to do. I was so frustrated and tired, so I decided to take a nap. While I was sleeping, I visioned a tattoo styled hummingbird, with red flames all over. I was so excited! Woke up immediately and decided to create it right away.
While I was drawing the sketch and experimenting with colors and tones, I've found out that I am going to do a little twist. The hummingbird will stay, but the colors and the atmosphere will be completely different. The hummingbird wanted to have it on its own terms, and made me paint it with vibrant psychedelic colors, in a green and tropical background.
I loved the result, and now I am thinking of making a whole series of tropical birds.
That's it for now :)
