I have painter’s block. Not that I can’t think of what to paint, but that I have some expectation for producing really good paintings–whatever good means. Since I have a show up in a gallery I guess I feel like I should be making consistent work that is constantly better and more evolved. Amazing paintings that everyone will love instantly Paintings that demonstrate to all that I am indeed a painting genius! This thinking is the death of my productivity. Hopefully I’ll get over my irrational fear and make another painting soon.
I have been able to make drawings. I don’t seem to have a block with that. This is Bruno, #A121334, a dog who is posted for adoption at the San Antonio Animal Control website. Almost daily I’ve been drawing the animals that turn up on this website—dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens. I have no idea how animals are selected to be on the site, or how many good animals that never have a chance at finding a home before they are euthanized. San Antonio Animal Control is taking steps to be a no-kill facility by 2012.
Art Is Not For Sissies 
I know what you mean about “painter’s block”. When I get like that I “allow” myself to fail, i.e. create some crappy paintings if that’s what it takes, just to work through it.

I’m going through the same thing with my new play. The fact that I have a wonderful cast already in place and a looming deadline doesn’t seem to make the pages come out any quicker. When you discover the secret of “unblocking” let me know. I’m glad you can continue drawing. I think being productive in nay artistic form will help.
