Between project blues




I always seem to get in the doldrums between painting projects, desparetely wanting something to paint, yet having no inclination to paint "just for the fun of it" or for practice purposes alone.If I have a commission, or when something really inspires me, I'll attack it with gusto and enjoy every minute of the roller coaster ride until it's completed. I just don't know how to get motivated enough to paint for the sake of painting alone. The feeling of guilt I get from letting precious practicing time slip by does nothing to help! Any ideas on how one stirs up enthusiasm in this situation?
