It has been a long while since I posted last. A lot has happened since then. Moved 3,000 miles, changed job amongst other things. I still hobby like there is not tomorrow, building anything I can get my hands on. But painting.... that's another story. I was looking at my latest project and started to get frustrated.
For those who know me, I used to paint at least an hour a day, usually 7 days a week. When I got out of retail that time started to go down. Then I had a kid, then got a dog and had another kid and had more shoulder issues. There was a time when I couldn't hold a hobby knife or paint brush for a good 6 months.
However, since then, I have 'writers block' when it comes to painting. I look at what I do and am not happy with it. I used to be better and faster and I get in my own way about painting. I need to stop worrying about what I used to do and focus on what I can do. Modelling has gotten me though some rough times in life, I need to not get caught up on small things.
The other big thing I miss is making terrain. That is something that needs to start happening again, stat.
So hopefully now, I can start to tinker away at things, I am hoping to update the blog weekly just to keep me going. If you want to follow along, feel free to chime in! I could always use the support!
Cheers,
Jordan
After a long break…
