For whatever reason or combination of reasons, I am completely blocked creatively. I can’t draw. I can’t paint. I can’t focus my thoughts at all. A friend suggested that I try doing little 15 minute sketches each day to try to recover. Even these are miserable to try to do. I feel like I’ve had far too much caffeine and can barely sit still.
Perhaps you can find one of your babies here, sacrificed for my need for source photos. I apologize for not being able to capture their true natures. I’m trying, though. I’m really trying.
At least she didn’t draw you looking like a teddy bear!

It’s hard to believe but a lot of schools are starting back to class already. Make sure your student stands out in one of these fine offerings. There are shirts, sweaters, ties and vests for the young man or young lady who wants to show they are serious about their future success.
All these and more are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.

OHHH I THINK THE DRAWINGS ARE AMAZING !!!! DONT GIVE UP !!
HUGSSSSSSSSSSS
Thanks. They hurt to do anymore. ☹️
So hard to work through a block…but those drawings were great.
Aw, thank you. I wish I could find something to help me move forward, though. I feel awful as is. ☹️
I have faith you’ll get through this
Cricket and Ellie!!!!!!!!!! So awesome!
You recognized them! I’m so glad!
My Mom loved them too!
Would you like me to send you some digital copies?
That would be great!
That has to be so frustrating! Try not to make yourself crazy over it if you can help it. It will pass. Meanwhile, those drawings may look disappointing to you, but to those of us who can barely draw stick men, they are awesome!
Thanks for the encouragement. I hope you are right and it passes. For now, though I am just so frustrated. Aagh!
Keep plugging away at it. Look for inspiration in mundane things, and if that doesn’t work, children’s books, which can be amazingly inspirational
Oh, I like that idea! Maybe I will go to the library and see what they have to inspire.
Aw, I am so sorry to hear this. 😦
I think all of your drawings are wonderful and beautiful!
I hope this passes soon. Hang in there!
Does looking through your past drawings spur anything? Photos? Other people’s illustrations? Pups and such face to face?
(((HUGS))) ❤️
PS… Hey, Toby! Being a Teddy Bear isn’t a bad thing! 😉 BTW: Coop said to tell you he’s been called a teddy bear and an Ewok before! 😮 😀
Teddy bear? Ewok? I don’t think so. You are one handsome puppy, though!
