It's fitting that my first blog post is about making some canvases. That's where it all starts for me. While I'm stretching the canvas across the frame, I'm already thinking about what to paint. Abstract...floral...nude (just kidding, Mom!).
I usually work on my canvases in batches. Since the equipment is loud, I don't want to wake the kids up at night. I reserve the quiet act of painting for the late evening/early morning hours. It's when my head is clear and there is no distraction. The ideas flow freely as I listen to music, or sometimes even an audio book.
When is your most creative time of day? When is your mind in that Zen-like state when you have some of your most inspired thoughts?
