Whenever I feel out of sorts in one way or another I try to experiment more and see where what I'm feeling/doing will take me. Instead of working to my normal pattern and producing the usual stuff, I let completely let my mood or current state of being engulf me and channel it, without force, into some relaxed creativity where I place no expectations on myself. I often find this takes me in interesting directions that I never would have gone in had I just taken down time. Once I'm back to normal I always find myself incorporating some of these experimental finds into my usual routine/practice, often with great effect. It's one of my favourite ways to develop as an artist :o)<br /><br />Hope the insomnia sorts itself out soon. If not, try doing some yoga - I always sleep so so soundly after a good yoga session :o)<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing the bird finished soon, it's go great potential!Caroline Peña Brayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518853222220324027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-69590562304605354982011-05-14T11:08:45.656-02:302011-05-14T11:08:45.656-02:30I love sketching people especially in coffee shops...I love sketching people especially in coffee shops.

You just wait and watch.<br /><br />I don't really mind the downtime Tracy, but there's this internal clock that keeps chiming in, telling me I should be producing.<br /><br />I'm getting back to normal (whatever that is) now I think.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-32939763483131440342011-05-14T09:26:06.167-02:302011-05-14T09:26:06.167-02:30I agree!

It's like I need to be in full throttle to help my self problem-solve better. <br /><br />Even though it throws off my sleep schedule, I find that taking the down time is more productive and effective that trying to work thru inefficient times. (Not sure if this works w/ your insomnia.)<br /><br />Here's to righting the ship!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-20228333539639763112011-05-14T07:15:25.922-02:302011-05-14T07:15:25.922-02:30What a handsome man - fabulous sketch.
