Are you unmotivated to paint? Are you feeling "pigeonholed" with your painting? Are you tired of painting the same, old thing? These are situations that every artist faces.

Second, you need to understand that this happens to every artist. Even the top selling ones. Even the greatest and most talented artists alive. In fact, it happens to all of us ...

What to learn more? Just listen to today's podcast here. (You can listen live or anytime after the show as all episodes are recorded and archived.)
