Have the tables turned or have the turns tabled?

Ah yes… the looming, haunting and dreadful weight of the well-known art block is a sentiment the artist will often encounter.

I cannot help but on some days behold myself in fear of the luridly white canvas which stares blankly into my face.
It demands to me:

“What will you conjure onto this canvas?
Will your first stroke be the gravest mistake?”

That is why on those days, like today, I use my callous canned helmet to cover my countenance; to hide from my easel and let my instruments of creativity remain unseen by me.

But have no fear.

If the turmoils of art block hinder me then let today be the day I do not create. I will make clear to myself that, perhaps, just a day away from the blocked streams of creativity will mean that eventually, a more profound and exuberance of energy will unleash itself and emancipate the bubbling, volcanic creative ideas at the dawn of tomorrow or in the days that follow forever after…

Creativity will come its way again, gradually - but first, a game of hide ‘n seek with my easel (who holds still in their possession, my beloved blue shoes).

“A sharp bite from behind that be the chilling wind carried by winter’s screams and cries.

I look beyond the shadow forest in search of spring and away from December spirits that sing and shriek of all things decayed…

Please, I beg. Make the cold and ice remote, far afield.
Pervade the way for light and warmth.
For summer must come again.
It must.”

_____

Let me tell you: I absolutely hate winter with a passion and can’t help but sometimes feel a bit baffled by those who love this season. I have dinosaur skin and chapped lips from the cold, I require 10 more minutes in the morning to put on all the necessary layers of clothing to feel warm and transform myself into an oversized onion, and with the sun setting early I also become an energy-deprived, sad, sleepy potato - Who could possibly love this season??? So this digital painting here was actually made out of pure spite and disdain for winter (sorry if you like this season). While making this I also thought of improvising with my voice and composing a song (and animation) that tries to emulate the ominous cold of winter and the ice wind that crawls under your skin or surprises you from behind - hope it sounds bearable, haha. Music is something I like to do but have less confidence in than with art: I have really little experience in the field (I cannot sight read to save my life). With art I feel open and flexible to share it but with music it’s not the same. I’ve always liked to play around with sound but it’s always been chaotic improvisation and with no theory. Regardless, I keep having ideas that pester me to combine the two together so I’ll keep creating, keep combining, and see where this goes. If it's p**p, then fine, it’s p**p :,D
