Every so often I go into hiding, just to recharge my batteries so that I can reengage with the world at full strength. A big part of this has been giving myself permission to rest. Working for myself can be a blessing and a curse at times. I love the flexibility I have to create my own schedule but on the downside, I put pressure on myself to be "productive" all of the time. This is not a sustainable pace and as a result I risk burning myself out. I think that's a little bit of what happened.
That's okay though, because I recognized it was happening and was able to slow down. The result has been the creation of new artwork that I absolutely love! It started with some inspiration from the work of Kelly Barton and Danielle Dondaldson. Oh yes and I'm signed-up for a class with Danielle Donaldson that's going to start at the end of this month that I'm super excited about. You can learn more about it here.
Here they are!
Do you have a favorite? I'd love to know which one and why.
That's all for now! Always remember to keep creating.
Creatively Yours
