 If you are an Artist, you will at some point face the “Artist Block”, where you stare at the blank canvas and think now what!  I find the best way to over come this for me, is to look at as much art as possible, be it in books, on line, in nature or in galleries, something you see will inspire you.  I paint in series, this helps me focus on a related subjects and keeps the creative juices flowing.  Sometimes you just need to cover that intimidating blank white canvas and throw paint at it, just play and something will click.  Remember there are never mistakes in art, just happy accidents.
