"Create in the middle of things". I got covid, the car broke down, I couldn't get to my studio for a month. I set up a folding table in the garage, and carried on whenever I felt well enough. "You can work for 5 minutes ..if you are working" because I brought the current painting I was working on, home with me. I was astonished by just how much and how easy it was to build the work in these tiny increments of time. And almost as if by magic the painting finished itself, when it had previously sat half finished in my studio for 6 months! Eric is right, do what he tells you.
This man understands creatives profoundly. I read his book Van Gogh Blues and it is incredible for lighting a fire under you. Thank you for this interview!
Excellent. I, however, advocate for one day off a week. A field must lie fallow for a time. A mother must have a break from her child. One day of complete rest from our own endeavors keeps us in tune. ❤

No rules of principles -- make your own rules in being true to yourself -- love it!
