It’s that itch to create, sometimes I just can’t shake it.  After a long month of trying to face all my feelings after the accident, I just needed to sit down and do some art for myself.

I do have a few projects waiting in the wings, and they are fantastic projects.  But for some reason, my mind’s just been dragged down in the last month.  I kept trying to concentrate on projects, but I just couldn’t find the muse.  So, I thought, I just need to sit down and do it.

I think as an artist, when you hit one of those blocks, you just need to let it go and start creating.  It doesn’t have to have direction, or a specific idea, or even be finalized in the end.  You just need to create, and let those demons work themselves out.

In this case, I had a completely different idea going in on what I wanted to do.  But I kept that nagging voice quiet, and just let the art lead me where it wanted to.  The result is the piece below, as always let me know what you think.

I call it, “Deathly Reflection”, and if you want a wallpaper of it for your computer download that here.
