Oh man, this quote resonates with me . . . Lately that’s how I’ve been feeling. Staring down getting older . . . and at the same time, miraculously, I have never felt more inspired in my life. So much to do. So little time.
I have a lot of creative pursuits on the go. Combine that with all the new stuff I’m trying to learn and sometimes I end up feeling paralyzed. Then I thought about this quote by Julia Cameron:
Art is not about thinking something up.
It is the opposite — getting something down.
I totally love that.

Hi Barb,
I love love this image. So bright and positive.. the quote is amazing too.
I’m with you about having so many creative things to do and such little time.. It’s all good though.. makes me feel alive :)
Happy day!
perfect, perfect, perfect!! Thanks!!
that is a wonderful quote. I love the offsetting of the flower….very nice work.
All I can say is Amen….you wrote what is on my heart ;)… I am so where you are… wonderful image and quote…very creative and inspiring.
Love the image and quotes!
I have so many projects going on right now – I often wonder why I take on so much at once instead of just finishing one at a time, knowing that it overwhelms me.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Bravo!
such a cheerful flower photo and inspiring quote…and i love julia cameron and “the artists’ way”….good luck with all your creative pursuits…now is the time! keep learning and creating.

Thank you for sharing your art and the saying. I can relate, and you encouraged me!
the photo, the texture & the quote ~ perfect ♥
How beautifully put, Barb! I relate to that “paralyzed” feeling completely…it’s hard to stare it down sometimes. Your photo and processing is gorgeous…thank you for sharing your thoughts and image!
I feel exactly the same time to time, okey I’m not that old but work is taking to much time for my creative juice time:)
Beautiful!
It’s always easy to comment on your flower pics – there’s always many things to comment on, like in this on how all the petals touch the side, and the vibrant colour and the birds eye view perspective. Lovely.
Great quote and it hits home with me.
Great composition!
I so agree I have been filled with inspiration and want to keep learning so I figure we will have to live until we reach at least 150 to get it all in! Great shot!!!
I LOVE your photos and your words. That lemonade shot should be published somewhere!
What a beautiful image, Barb, and I love the quote.
Just perfect.
wishing you a wonderful day!
lovely lovely quote and beautiful flower!
