drew and painted my favourite kaya (coconut jam) toast and eggs. till now i feel i’m not very imaginative so i’m only drawing mostly food. there’s so many psychological blocks…i wonder if i can gain deeper access to my imagination by the time i reach 50 (am 42)
I see people filling up pages and pages of their sketchbook with everything: variations of the same thing, multiple thumbnails, abstract art, typographic experiments, etc. But when I’m faced with a blank page nothing comes out. Words come so much easier for me versus imagery. I wish to have pictures spill out of my pen some day – wouldn’t it be so great to be so connected to our rich inner worlds?
Sometimes I think the feeling of having creative blocks is almost a physical sensation – it is as though something wants to emerge but there is just no doorway and I am left with a feeling of frustration.
I wonder if this is about a blockage or if my inner world is just not very rich? And if this is something that can be slowly resolved with practice.
