Stuck

This is the first time in a long time that I have felt really stuck. Artistically speaking that is. I can't seem to get the next painting right. I have burned through about 7 canvases all in vain. I don't know what is happening? My usual response is to just keep plowing forward and eventually it will pass, but this time is different. I feel like I have gone full circle. That I don't know how to execute the style I have been working to nurture over the last two years. That I need to toss it all out and start over. That I am no good anymore and that I should just give up. Ugggggghhh. It will pass right?

Needless to say, the Cowboy show is next week and my own personal show is end of September. The Cowboy show at Onda Gallery on Alberta is taken care of. I have the few pieces that are accepted and just need to drop them off. As for my own show in September, I was hoping to create a few more this summer to include, but right now, that prospect isn't looking very good. One positive note is that I have a postcard made, theme picked, and location secured.

Here are the details.

UNTIL NOW.
