Yes. Its that time again; When one feels completely uninspired. I have not done a watercolor for a about two weeks now. I have been through this stage before and I know I'll be out of it soon. But still it does fill one with some kind of insecurity. Its a very internal kind of insecurity. Suddenly you question your passion and that kind of makes you feel insecure.
The key I feel is to just think of it as a phase that will pass. And of course its the right time to pick up something else and give it a try. I have been doing more of sketching now and also gave a try to acrylics once again. Hope you enjoy it.

I must say that I absolutely HATE that feeling, and you are so right about the internal insecurity. It's like we completely disregard all the hundreds of successful work we've done because of one tiny seed of doubt. Or at least that's what I do. I think it's smart to try something new when this happens, that seems to be my foolproof method of overcoming it anyways. And I do really enjoy this Prabal, especially the light, and the colors that are so distinct of your style. :)
Very nicely done Prabal. The way you have done the lights reminds me of Van Gogh :)
I get this insecure feeling every once in a while. But you will surely come out of it soon. Best wishes.
It must be something about this time of year. I am painting - sporadically - and not liking what I see. BLEAH!!! At least you have some company in your misery.
I absolutely LOVE your interior paintings! Well - I love your outdoor ones too, but there is something about the interior ones that I find extra appealing. They are always full of warmth and atmosphere :0)
How true, Prabal, I think most everyone can relate to this painting and that feeling of being uncertain of what to choose in many ways. I have not painted in 10 months and have tried everything. I even smudged the studio to remove negative energy but I'm still unable to concentrate and paint. I have many good ideas for larger paintings thank I've been used to painting. I thought that the size was what was holding me back but I can't even paint a small piece. I hope that when the warmer weather arrives and the sun stays around more that I'll wake up........ because this has been a nightmare. I will keep good thoughts for you, Prabal. :)
The good thing is that we all go through this, rest for awhile and feel more inspired when we return to our paints. This acrylic is beautiful like all of your work, Prabal..the colors and details are wonderful. Your passion is still there, my friend...your talent is amazing!!
Your non inspiration certainly doesn't show here , it's a gorgeous work !
