I am a writer and landscape artist.

Do you know that after a while, one landscape begins to look just like another? It can, anyway.

And writer's block is no small thing when your lively hood depends on it. But the single, greatest thing I do when the juices are all dried up. When my paintbrush doesn't have one more tree, barn or anything in it. I pack a lunch, nothing fancy (I save that for other times by the lake or ocean or mountain top or my favorite a quiet meadow when I'm not alone) and take it to any local cemetery I happen to be near. I arrive at my chosen location around noon, spread my food and drink out on the seat in my car, have no music on, and eat. Now the windows are down, birds a signing, squirrel ls are doing their thing and I think, 'how lucky I am to be here today". Finished eating, I get out and walk amongst the stones to view dates, sayings, whatever and soon my mind begins to run.

WATCH OUT...juices are beginning to run and, OH NO, I do have another painting in me.

Want you creativity to flow? Think about this activity. Take a moment and wait. Mr. Creativity will knock on you car door before you know it.

Incidentally, I believe that you can tell a lot about a town by how it maintains it's graveyards. Try it.
