Waves of Creativity

Have you seen the set rolling into the intersection of Carlsbad Village Drive and Highland Drive?

Like the motionless sea after a frenzy of waves, the most creative stretch can be accompanied with long lulls of artistic stagnation. Sketch books remain white and the pages of your idea book remain blank. Like a addict in need of their next fix, your brushes fiend for the crusty colors of a loaded palette. Your studio becomes dusty and your desk fills with clutter. You spend long hours staring into the horizon, waiting for an idea to sprout. You become restless and wander from your local village. You journey for inspiration, but become lost. Your mind becomes soft and a thick cloud hovers low. You sit in a dark room flipping through the pages of your contemporaries. Your supplies turn yellow and you grab your face. A loathsome scream meets the setting sun and you pound the ground until your worried mind retires for the night.

The morning chirp rattles you from a hazy dream as coffee tumbles into your studio. Papers animate in an early morning breeze and the scent of the sea tickles your nose. The early sun greets you with a hearty handshake and introduces you to the day…

How do you animate a creative lull?
