Staying Focused

Diametrically opposed to yesterdays post. One of the issues I have as an artist is finding something that interests me long enough to hold my attention. I love drawing, capturing images but I can't seem to make them sing as well as photos can and I get bored. Maybe not bored exactly but it feels like I've been-there-done-that. Cartoons spill out but then it's over. Writing, is fascinating but then I run out of things to say and I loose my voice. So far photography wins...at least for the moment.

Now what about cooking? This is a creative effort. I love to, but I need stimulation, a break, a change. I can be totally on target one minute and then the next meal is completely off.


So I really wonder how one stays focused on one subject over the years. I can say that my focus is on all aspects of creativity and art but that's it. I can't say that I'm totally one of anything.

As I'm writing, I realize, that despite my interests in all the different mediums I have stayed with one thing, all be it general. Art.

                                                                                                                   Halibut with lemon and capers

                                                                                                                    good summer meal.

Any thoughts on this would be more than welcome. How does one spend years on one subject?
