I don't know about you, but I dislike the feeling of stagnation and repetition. The knowledge that I have same task ahead of me that I had the previous day, week, month can be grating, and I relish each opportunity to try new things. Fortunately, my occupation (I work from home) allows me ample time to pursue my hobbies and interests, but even then I still get that itchy feeling that I am stuck with the same routine ahead of me. When this happens, it's a sign that it is time to shake things up, start fresh and begin a new project or two. Well I got that itchy feeling this past week...
What am I working on? I began composing a new piano piece, haven't written music in a while, and it has been thrilling to sit down and add a few new notes the score each day. While it is not finished yet, here are two other piano pieces that I previously composed:
This last weekend I also participated in a tournament at my local board game store that began at midnight and went to 7am - crazy right, but a great way to mixup my schedule (no I didn't win, sadly). I was able to get some lovely photographs of the pale sunrise as I left the store that morning that I would not have captured if I hadn't gone to the event.
So what do you do when you are feeling that creeping sensation of stagnation? Let me know in comments below or on the Impulsive Artistry Facebook Page! Have a fantastic, un-stagnate creative week, —Charles
Hello Everyone, I don't know about you, but I seem to every once in a while have one of those creative days where, despite my best efforts, I can't seem to make progress on a project. This happened to me a few weeks back, and after two hours of work, I decided that a landscape painting was not coming together. Before putting away my paints for the day, I decided to paint a quick abstract, placing the following colors on my palette: Mars Black, Titanium White, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Orange Hue and Red Oxide. Long story short, in thirty minutes, I created three striking abstracts in one sitting! Today, I am showcasing the third of the three: "Retro." See the first one here: ELEGANCE LINK See the second one here: WAVE LINK Acrylic Color Palette: Mars Black Titanium White Cadmium Orange Hue Red Oxide Materials: 1 Inch Brush Flat Wash Brush Easel or Flat Surface Water Cup Canvas Board, 16x20in.
