Even if hours, days, weeks, etc. are spent creating work, it feels like that time was wasted and nobody will appreciate the dedication, the care, or the passion that went into it.

The last week or so I have been feeling a positive change in a few ways. I try to avoid negative thinking in general but the last couple of years and the last few months have been especially difficult. COVID has brought a heavy weight to everyone’s shoulders.

For my fellow artists out there, I know some days it feels impossible to feel inspired. We consume so much material, searching for our next grand idea, the shiny new thing, the materials and gear that will "improve our art".

I came across my photos from my Iceland trip of 2016 and wasn't happy with the decisions I made with the edits back then. Naturally I decided to try again.
