Inspiration...

I've been trying to find time to paint this week, but it's not quite as simple as that when it come to art. One needs to feel 'inspired'... don't we? Actually Picasso had it right I think, sometimes you just need to pick up that brush / pen / guitar and see where it takes you.

But other things can help too - I put on a playlist of music that gets my creative brain working, sometimes reading a book or watching a video or staring out at the sunset can give that creative buzz.

Here are some articles and blogs that might help too:
