You write so well about how you feel Helen. I struggle to find the words for my distraction and difficulty settling to painting. I wonder if screen time and so much choice of styles and materials have a part to play in this. I think I need mental blinkers! Thank you for your newsletter and good luck with the exhibition which I hope to come to soon.
Screens definitely get in the way of creativity. They run counter to the slow time needed to create. Setting some boundaries can create the ‘mental blinkers’ required to let you express from your core.
Thanks Helen, as always you describe these daily 'struggles', which don't have to be , so accurately.
I've shown myself compassion when I'm tired. I've walked and looked closely. Ive made sketches. I've put down a few bags of judgement! Good luck with your exhibition. X

When I write it’s often the voice of wisdom that speaks to the part of me that needs reminding I’m trying my best and I am enough. 🙏
