I wrote a few posts ago about my frustration at having so many ideas floating around, working on so many projects, but not having the motivation to tie any of them up or finish them.
Today started very much in the same vain. Starting things with the best intentions and then quickly losing heart and deleting the work I had done. Or opening up half finished projects and then closing them down again after 5 minutes.
I think there can be many different reasons why artists experience this dissatisfaction with their work but I rarely think the problem lies with the work itself. For me, the problem is usually with the way I am viewing my work and the way I am going about my work. If I find myself carrying out the same routines, applying the same old techniques, then I very quickly become bored with what I am doing and struggle to produce and complete projects.
So in order to counteract the problems I have been facing, It's me that needs to change - actually change the way I am working even if it is in the most minor way.
This is what I did this afternoon. I made a clear distinction between the way I was working before lunch, and the way I would work after. The result?
