I haven't posted in a while because I've been scared. My painting final sucked and my brain's in a weird place. After my mirrored self-portrait I believed I'd had a breakthrough, now I wonder if it was a fluke. I have lots of ideas knocking around in my head but I feel like I can't make what I need to make and I have a lot of fear and reservation. The last few days have been a downhill slide. I want to get back to the studio, though. I think I know what path I'm on, I'm just having such trouble pulling things together.
