Amazing though how you heal over winter and even before the first hint of spring, our hearts start desiring to get started again. Thank goodness for that.

Do you ever take breaks from making art?
I know that if I stop singing for a few months, when I start again I swear I can sing better - I notice sensations that I was unable to notice when I sang regularly.
I do take breaks from art sometimes, but it usually is not on purpose or planned. It's just that sometimes, for some reason, my art table doesn't call out to me. Sometimes it is when I am focused on something else and other times I have no idea why it happens.
Sometimes what draws me back more heavily is when something inspires me to try something new or the idea of doing something I've always done, a little differently. So.... maybe I am also better after I've gotten away from it some. I never really looked at it that way.
I always have things ready at my art desk for my next inspiration. If the urge to create ascends on me, I can jump right back to it. 😊
Yes that's what happens when I stop singing, and start again. It's just a little different somehow, looser, less guarded. Surprising.
