My friend, Vic, died last September and I have been depressed ever since. Well, maybe not as much as I was. But it really knocked the stuffing out of me. I've been trying to find meaning in my art work but can't seem to make anything worth viewing. So I decided to wait a while and see what happens. I've brought more attention to my hobbies because they seem safe, friendly and non-threatening. And it has been good to simply relax and have a little fun.

I'm thinking that the time has come when I need to start producing art again. And I'm afraid that the talent has left me. I feel like an empty box. What if I can't ever paint again? What will happen to me? Will anyone care? Will I care? Does it matter? Has anyone out there had to deal with the fear of painting ability leaving? Please let me know if you have had this fear and how you dealt with it.
