QUO VADIS….

……at one point or another a painter

encounters the writer's block….

referring to the inability of the artist to conceive….

this is my version of Olympia as opposed to Manet's

….usually this is just temporary…although it

occurs more often to the non seasoned artist…

the reason being…

 the neophyte lacks the experience

of  facing challenges and solving problems…

it is baffling when one first encounters it

and it seems like it would be a nice excuse

to switch to another career…

it's like being at a crossroad
and didn't exactly know what to do…

however… after a serious analysis…

one discovers that ideas grow not
from trees, or looking at the sky,
staring at beautiful girls…

Tanya, my Ukrainian model

begging the Gods
of creativity to throw a modicum of  activity to
your brain….

none of the above can help…
but answering a question of purpose and
message may help…

it's as simple as that….
just like the other creative fields…
the painter's urge to express himself is tied to 
sharing a message…
"what is it that i wanted to say triggers
the block to step aside and for concepts

to come in"…
the answer to this question solves the 
impotence of creativity…
at least in my own experience…

that's all for now folks !
