For me inspiration is happiness, much desired but elusive. It is the fuel that powers motivation and makes for possibilities.
I force myself to start on a new work, make that first mark. If I surrender doubt, I get lost in the process of painting. Creativity is an adventure that generates its own form of inspiration.
In my life I have felt like a negative soul. Still it seems the act of creation is an act of optimism.

The one time there was no painting, puts it all in perspective.

Exactly how I often feel. A wrestling of sorts, doubt fighting with optimism. I rather choose the latter.
