 It is done! What began as night pacing (see my December 6, 2009 blog post); has culminated into the finale.
I am now in that stage where the crescendo has ended. I have the feeling of not being anchored; I am adrift, until I delve into the next project. Of course, I’ll sketch and create, but it is a different energy than being possessed by a painting screaming to get out!
Sometimes the best way to describe the creative zone, would be mania, crescendo, then an anti-climatic feeling sets in, finally a sadness that it’s over; and then peace,
but…then it starts all over again.
Remember to nurture your body, mind and spirit and being adrift may mean letting go of control.
I want to thank you all who continue to support me, I feel loved. Peace to everyone.

I was in the “zone”, (which is the preoccupation of obsessively creating an image), becoming so strong in my mind’s eye, that I am only freed from the zone by completing the actual work. I worked days, excessively on this image.
I know that I feel exposed when I show any part of the process to anyone outside the zone of my head. I am aware that I am exposed.
I took breaks, but it is the night of another day of obsessing over every little piece of it, adding, subtracting, pacing around the work, only stopping to take nature’s breaks, which can be a nuisance when in the creative zone.
It is only when the image is getting near the final stages that I feel I have revealed my subject or an aspect of them in an honest approach.
