RE: Are we fish in a tank? My watercolour and wonder at our Online lives
Your art is beautiful and vibrant as always Donna.
Something you said in this blog has really hit home for me:
online life can be not only a time stealer, but can make one feel 'odd'. Feelings of covetousness or the Fear Of Missing Out etc. All of that, which IS built into the system, is just not my bag, so I unplug.
I got a post written this morning and I feel much more positive having the rest of the day to focus on the real world. I think I may try your mode of work myself for a while and see how it suits. My biggest problem is that inspiration for writing doesn't always appear on demand... but I'm getting better at letting it flow 🙂
Those coy carp in the painting are so calming. Thanks for sharing your gift.

Thanks @raj808 I'm glad you like it. Yes, giving myself very delinated online/offline parts of my day is pretty important, to me anyway.
@raj808, I can't say for sure whether this would be the case for you, but I've found that my muse shows up for me each day regularly if I do. If I always show up at a certain time or part of my day most days, so does my creativity. Occasionally ideas and such come at other times and I just make quick notes in my phone and pick it up during my usual time. I mention this to you since many others have said this is the case for them too and it really can help to feel like we can harness our muse at will! :-)
