"Your art is special...it drives people towards realms and thought processes left dormant if not for the viewing. Do continue it, as it is not merely for you. You indeed reach out to others through it, and will find much love and attraction because of it. This you already experience...and it will continue and multiply. Give no credence to worthiness factors which plague you. It is not for your to comply...just be who you are and all the details of your deepest desires will come to pass".

"Your past "mistakes" are definitely lessons you should learn from, but don't let them paralyze you. You can't let yourself be intimidated by what might happen...you just have to trust yourself that you can do it. Now is not the time for mulling things through, reviewing all the options, or debating pros and cons."

I have been inspired of late with creativity, but have had little time to act upon this. Whether form busying myself with other "duties", or doing it as a diversion to the "making", things and images still abound in my head. Maybe a little, but I find the immersion in all this most appealing, and I know my confidence levels increase with each segment. Art comes in many forms, and although painting is a mystery to me...I can and do excel in other forms and mediums.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Creativity is certainly not lacking. It is, though, morphing into additional avenues. No longer, do I seem, to be perplexed with the notion I need to be traditional in my approach or outcome. Continue I will with the experimentation of mediums which do not come easy, only to build some sort of familiarization with them. No longer do I care about the particular outcome, nor the end product. I now know what I do well, and can relax a bit.
My mind is still most engaged with the aspects of this skull project. I indeed see it in my mind, and desire to beginning the project, but find my time now full of other responsibilities, which I find not truly to be an excuse for the not doing. My process has me shooting in the studio with specific backdrop, yet possibly this may be holding me back. I don't know if the effect I wish to capture is viable for my equipment, especially the lighting. But all I can do is try. If the desired effect is unattainable in the studio, then perhaps and outdoor quality of lighting is in order. The issue is to begin, see how things progress, move on (if necessary) and allow the creativity to modify, mold, gel and manifest.
