we're heading up to Grand Marais today when i get home from school! it's the annual retreat at the Art Colony with Elizabeth Erickson, the Women's Art Institute Studio Retreat- mom and I have been going up every year since 1995, i think... missed one in there somewhere...and every year i have the same struggle with the blank canvas... it is amazing how my ego gets in the way, how i have to fight myself to let myself play- i supposedly know enough to not judge myself but i know i do anyway. Will others like this? is it working? what am i doing? who do i think i am anyway? you know, all that angst...
and then inevitably, i get out of the way of myself and something comes from somewhere, and i am able to begin...
we will see what happens-
stay tuned....
