I just can't seem to finish a project. I start, I quit, I go back, I work on it, I leave it, etc. Thus, my art work is still not complete, but sitting in my studio waiting for me to complete it.
In addition, I have put on my list to completely reorganize my studio. I would like to get rid of what I do not use. Then, I would like to reorganize. The space is quite small and I have every nook and cranny filled. I am actually in my laundry room. Anyway, getting off track.....I still have not started.
I bought a new roller bag for my scrap-booking. I have not even tried to fill it. It just sits there empty wondering why I have not grabbed it and delighted in filling it up.
Sigh! I just keep procrastinating. Any cures out there?
I'm a happy grandmother! I enjoy my family, my friends, and my life. I love to travel and love to post travel experiences. I like to 'piddle'. Are you familiar with that southern term? I would love to have you sign up to follow this humble blog. I need all the encouragement I can get. :) My name is Carole.
Oh, I feel your pain! I have several unfinished paintings *argh* and some of them are small format - so I have NO excuse because they would be easy to finish. I am taking Timothy Adams 5 day seminar that starts tomorrow. There is a section on getting organized! I hope it helps get and keep me on track!
ReplyDeleteHere's a portion of his email with the link to the marketing course:

Very interesting, Tapestry. I just might try that.
ReplyDeleteOh Carole, wish I could give you a magic cure, but alas I am in the same boat with you. I think part of mine is Spring Fever. I did dig out some things I never use and never will, photoed them and can't get up the energy to list them. If I discover a cure I will share.
ReplyDeleteAs far as organising goes, I do a little bit at a time, as little as 15 minutes. I also prioritize what needs to be done.
ReplyDeleteWith my art, I only work on what moves me at the time. I always have four or more paintings going at once.
I know some times it is hard to be motivated, I went through about 2 months and I did not do hardly any art at all. I wasn't inspired and didn't feel like it. Hope you find some inspiration / motivation soon.
ReplyDeleteHmmm reorganization, I could use some of that too, my desk is a mess right now, partly because I have found my inspiration and am making some art, scraps of paper everywhere! lol

Gallery, that sounds like a plan. I have no rhyme or reason to how I work. LOL. It is like someone else is making the decisions.
ReplyDeleteI did spend three full days hoeing out my studio and it looks so pretty and is now completely reorganized. I am proud. But now I hate the thought of working in there and messing it up. LOL
Marlene....we are two peas in a pod. I do have two new greeting cards done but have not even listed them. Both are Iris Folded. LOL.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Pam. If i could only train myself to clean up after myself each time I worked. It never has happened. I have almost completed another three panel canvas ACEO....still the same one I mentioned two weeks ago.
