Blank canvas, oil paints ready, sturdy paint board positioned, ready to paint a masterpiece! Motivation is at its peak, I'm ready to flow!
I look at my paints perfectly positioned, ready to feed my thirsty brushes when I think; now what am I gonna paint?
I ponder there for a minute at the blank canvas, waiting for inspiration, waiting for ideas, waiting to be infused with creativity to paint a magical masterpiece.
But of what? Of where? Of who?
Maybe I should have planned this more?
How am I supposed to paint if I don't have the finished painting in mind nor brainstormed any ideas or put any plan on paper?
I start to paint anyway, hopefully inspiration will guide my paintbrushes to develop the piece of art that will surprise me and inspire others.
A few strokes, this way that way, of different colours, of different styles.
Nothing.
Now what?
I walk away from the Paint board and realise that this isn't going to work the way I want it to. I need to brainstorm, I should have had a finished painting in mind, some sort of of plan, scenery, portrait in mind.
But I didn't.
Why didn't I plan this better?
How come I didn't brainstorm?
How have I not got an idea of the finished piece in mind?
What steps have I mapped out to guide me towards the finished product?
How can I track my progress without knowing what I'm doing?
A disaster.
Where there is no vision, there's no hope!
