It has been AGAIN. Along time. I havent created much, what i have created however I have been proud of. It took alot to do. It made me remember LOTS. 

I don't know what is the matter. The FUNKY has left the building. Those funky eyed ponies i cannot see anymore. They are not talking to me. How I wish they would (what did I say lol!)

I do keep trying. Their legs might be wobberly and out of proportion and their body's may be a long and strange shape . . . BUT I DO TRY. And soon i hope i succeed.

Its not just the drawing.  It is the writing. That ability to have words just COME TO ME. Humour seemed easy? Yet here i am re-reading. proof reading. contemplating if even what i wote here is strong enough. Im trying. And Im hopeful. One day i hope it becomes second nature again. Until then . . . I practice til i manage. Perfect is not an option. I just want to be ABLE!!!

Ive new ideas, after just playing with paint and enjoying it again

Sometimes we need to step away from what we once enjoyed to try something new and expand on our knowledge and personal skills. 

Then when the time is right we can come back to the thing we once loved with a clearer view, better insight and renewed inspiration.

I have done just that. After a creative block/break I found myself looking for ways to break that barrier. It took time, time away from what i loved. But time can go quickly, when you fill it with other things and you try not to worry over what was. Just enjoy what is. When i finally broke through my creative block and i found i had a paintbrush in my hand again, i tried not to force the Funky GeeGee's. After all they are my favourite kind of art. What i love to let my creativity free with the most. But i still found them hard. At times IMPOSSIBLE. So much so I almost put the paintbrush back down, until i remembered how good it felt to have it there in its pride of place once more. 

For many years i have blogged about the importance of finding that creative side of ourselves. 

Being beaten by my own words is not an option. I picked up some acrylics, a few brushes, a couple of pallette knives and i filled my pan with water ready to bring some part of myself to the blank canvas in front of me. I let the colours flow and the paintbrush dance. Abstract is where i find peace. Where i can let whats in, out. Letting the brush strokes and colour speak for me, however i am feeling or whatever i am thinking at the time.

I will get back to creating my Funky GeeGee's when the FUNKY side of me comes back fully. I promise, soon THERE WILL BE a FUNKY GEEGEE. For now though they would just be GeeGee's and they deserve so much more than that!

I have had many an idea come to me (which is good) But translating those ideas with pencil, ink or paint is just not happening for me like it once did. BUT it will. I tell myself IT WILL. and until then i am just happy to have a paintbrush in my hand again. The music plays and i drift off. 

MY MEDITATION. MY CREATIVE JOURNEY.

Catch up soon  ~ Miss Funky (Stacy) 

It been a LOOOONG time. But i am back

Hi my Funky friends, long time, no hear. I am sorry for that.
BUT I am back, hopefully and EVENTUALLY 

As FUNKY as before!!

Its only a filler

I havent created a Funky GeeGee for many a month, in fact well over a year. I found creating so hard, even a stickman was trivial! I tried until i literally cried. Then i gave up for a while.

FAST FORWARD A YEAR OR MORE ~  I got this urge to create Funky GeeGee's again. They didnt come easy, in fact i found them so difficult i almost gave up trying. I tried to not get caught up in the whole 'MUST BE PERFECT' frame of mind and just tried to create them the best i could. I FAILED. MANY TIMES! I tried again, and again. and then BOOOOOMF I grasped it. I found my FUNKYNESS. Or enough Funkness to create a couple of paintings. Which i am happy with.

Bee is an appoloosa 17hh mare. She is 4 years old just starting her ridden career and ready to go have fun with. She is inquisitive, stunning, and SPOTTY!!! My word, what a challenge to create ~

This is Viv and Lily. Viv is a standardbred bay mare, she is calm and cool. Lily is a piebald cob x standardbred and is a little more erm . . . ON EDGE, Shall we say. Bless her!!!

I have doodled lots more, and had a play around with abstract and acrylics to just get back into the motion of creating art again. Its not easy breaking through Artists block but i think/hope/pray I made it :) All i gotta do now is KEEP CREATING. Keep imagining. LET THE IDEAS FLOW THROUGH, the pick up the paints or pencils and CREATE!!!
