I stopped painting after a back injury 5 years ago, it resulted in shoulder, back, neck surgery and I stopped painting due to pain. I went through several more surgeries and 3 years of therapy. I just got out of the habit of painting.
This summer my mother died of cancer, I spent 5 weeks living with her in the hospice. She talked to me about painting again and not waiting any longer to resume it. I knew she was right, I was excited about it at the time. But by the time I came home after assisting my grandmother and uncle with her affairs, etc. I was exhausted basically just came home and collapsed. Then got caught up in day to day family life.
Now with the New Year here I really want to honor my promise to her and begin painting, but I can't seem to get the excitement back. I would welcome any ideas from anyone on how to get excited and get back into the art I love so much.
