Not the kind you get when you eat something really cold (which I've never actually experienced myself), but the kind of brain freeze one gets mid-project that brings the work to a grinding halt. Am I fussing again? About the same issue? The suggestion of "whimsical" and mention of fairies has still got me thrown for a loop and thinking I'm headed the wrong direction. I actually started cruising the internet for images of stupid fairies that would prompt my imagination, and my husband stopped behind me and said, "No, no, no! Do what you were going to do!" Clearly, thick skin continues to elude me and I am too easily and thoroughly influenced by the comments of others with respect to my art.
This is the dumbest thing ever. Maybe it's time to just get the sketchbook and doodle with nothing particular in mind. That, or go harass my son until I'm thoroughly amused and distracted from this task.
Right now the chair is coloured with the safest paint choices for a traditionally girlie chair. I may break out in hives. This project is feeling too far off from what I would normally produce. Tomorrow I'll have the house to myself. I'll crank my music (emphasis on "my") and get to work doing it my way!
Perhaps I should put down the glass of wine before I get started on Phase II.
We'll see what happens.
