Blog by Michelle Geromel talking about love and passion in life and in art. How Long Does It Take To Paint a Painting?| 17 February, 2011 04:43  Thisis probably one of the most common questions someone will ask me, or most artists. This is a tricky question to answer. We really aren't trying to be evasive. It just depends.Yes, I know "it depends" is what we were told to say to just about anything in business classes at school, but in this case, it really does! Take today - today I'm in the flow. But yesterday - yesterday was a struggleof crazy proportions. My brain would just not let the right side take over and make things effortless. So as a result I couldn't "see" what it was I needed to paint. And so nothing was working. This went on forhours! And the normal tricks I use to loosen up like grabbing my Starbucks or dancing in the studio were not working. Finally at like 11pm at night, my brain finally switched over, stopped fighting, and I was in the flow. So when we say "it depends" it really does. It depends on our inspiration, on our ability to be in the flow and also our ability to let go and trust. Any artists out therehave similar days?
CommentsHappy Birthday Mom. Thanks for sharing in pictures. You are so blessed to have that kind of Mom. I dont have much of a relationship with my Mother. She never had that maternal instinct. I am envious Jill. Hope you got to celebrate together!auto insurance quotes | 09/04/2012, 02:47 Happy Birthday Mom. Thanks for sharing in pictures. You are so blessed to have that kind of Mom.

I booked my flight at the very last minute to come over but Im so pleased that I did. PWS set up another very well organised seminar, Jim was informative and sharing with his knowledge and the highlight of the trip was making so many great new friends. We had a fantastic time and I look forward to meeting up with everyone again in March at the trade show in Athens!! Really great photos & even better memories!home insurance | 22/04/2012, 00:43 I booked my flight at the very last minute to come over but Im so pleased that I did.

I suppose it dedenps what inspired you in the first place. For me, photography was a way to capture what I did not have the talent to draw, or at least draw quickly. So I would take pictures, then try to draw those pictures in multiple modes, suhc as the Van Gogh mode (and if you don't know what I mean, maybe you should go to an art museum for inspiration). Also, I've found that (literally) not having my equipment for a few months while starting to feel that lack of inspiration is giving me tremendous inspiration, as I just got it back this evening, and can't wait to go take pictures tomorrow! So, take a deep breath, put down the camera, pick out your favorite pictures and try to draw them, or go to museums and try to capture the feeling you get from a drawing or painting in your camera, or possibly you just need to ask a friend to hold on to your equipment indefinitely. When you find your hands itching for a camera, it's time for you to go get it back.
