Stumble

There's something about these last couple months of the year that really saps my energy. A combination of the cold, the lack of sunlight, and the stress of the holidays really seems to stop me in my tracks. I noticed this during my last year-long project - with the finish line in sight, my productivity slowed to a crawl. It's a strange grey cloud that seems to all-but-disappear after the new year.

This is where I start to think about my plans for the next year. What should I be doing? What is the next thing? How do I stay creative and happy in 2015? I have no idea, really.

I've really enjoyed watercolor painting, and I don't plan on stopping here. I think I would really like to do some more drawing, too. I can see myself really challenging myself to draw every day - maybe turn one of those drawings into a painting every week.

There's a part of me that really wants to try creating a game - a video game or a board game. I have a lot of ideas, and I would be able to do some artwork for either one. My concern there is that I wouldn't be doing as much art as I would like.

At the end of the day, whatever I choose should be challenging and rewarding. I have a lot of things to consider, but for now I have some painting to do.
