WHERE HAVE I BEEN?
I don't know what I have been doing the last three months.
Have had brief episodes of creativity. Will post floral photos soon.
Hope you are all well!

When the Mind Dulls
I wonder when people say they can create anything; is that true? I can not, or so it seems, turn "it" on or off. My process is intuitive. I feel an urge and I have to do some thing that satisfies my creative urges. Lately, I have been lacking, in what I can not say. If the process is there I can produce without stopping. Sometime, however, there is an empty well.

A Leader and not a Follower -- a real dilemma
Just today I had a revelation about self. Speaking to a client about a future floral project revealed something I knew but -- perhaps -- did not see as problematic.
As a professional landscaper and general horticulturist of long-standing, I use my intuition and client knowledge to design for them gardens, floral projects, or related arts and crafts. I am usually right on target, too, with the final result.
What does one do, however, when you work for a friend and find they want to take the lead when you would rather they not? What you want is to work alone, knowing the final result will bring praise. I don't have those answers right now but need to find them.
I am not speaking about an ego of great proportion; not at all. I use my experience of many, many years and intuition. Intuition is key for the creative process. It is nothing you have to think about; what comes from it is real.
