How to get your groove back, just do it.
For the longest time I have been trying to get my groove back.
I wanted to do something I was passionate about, something that I do that makes me feel good. I know what it is and I just needed to start. I kept procrastinating, finding something else to do, watch TV, play solitaire, anything to keep me from starting something, I hope I still got it in me.
Today was the day of just going for it, I started PAINTING today. I am duplicating a painting I did in college, many people told me they loved it, the original is very small and on a kind of canvas paper.
The object I am drawing is a bit challenging, It is a drink being poured into a glass with ice in it. This can be a little difficult with the lights and the shadows, and making it actually look real.
Now I am going to show you what I have reproduced so far. It will look a lot better after I get it finished.
I should video my painting process, and share parts of it with you. Well wish me luck in getting my groove back!
