Painting to Some Purpose

It’s been a tough week. following on from a very wet weekend by the sea, I had a migraine for a couple of days or so, reducing my week down, and that only served to make me feel drained for the remainder of my studio time. I’ve generally found this week a struggle though, questioning myself and repeating things from my older work. I keep falling into my own traps it seems. When something isn’t working, or rather when I think something isn’t working, I look back into what I percieved as being ‘successful’ in my older work, and then copying myself. I think I’m now doing this without realising it, and it is not a good thing. I need to somehow get out of this cycle.
