Painters Block-edited

The ability to paint seems to have left me these last couple of weeks. Has that ever happened to any of you? I spent one Sunday trying to paint this one image I had in my head and washed the canvas multiple times. I use watercolor pencils to rough sketch my paintings. What do you all do, or not do, when “painters block” takes over? It may be what is happening AND not happening here that has caused it. As most of you know, we live on the road, because of my husband’s job. This job in Blue Point NY will end May 23, Greg has been applying for permanent positions since December. We have never lived anywhere longer than 5 years; ever…I’m really hoping that we can find a permanent place. The thing that weighs on my mind is the unemployment rate and the economy. The other loathing fact is I have to pack up and move this s… again, argg. OK, as long as I’m venting, I feel I must get this off my chest. I am to be carried on a known web site. I have a signed contract that took 3 months to finalize, the painting's they want to carry have been delivered, the day the contract was signed, and a month later the only thing there is on that site by me is my biography. No “Ruby” no “Bleu Lagon Dane”. I admit, I check every morning like being there is going to make me famous. It’s pathetic. . . On a much happier note, I put pansy out by my front door. And I have another painting ready (I painted it last month and it is finally dry) to donate to a deserving shelter. I thought I had one picked out, AND THEN I read that they had killed over 400 dogs and cats last year??? Sorry, they won’t be getting any paintings from me. Until I’m painting again, I sign off Lori Michelle
