Catching Up!

After four years of caretaking and not painting, I am  going to try the old way 

of getting back into my art world. and for me, that means blogging. 

This is my first painting that I felt something was right about it.

I like the color harmony...

but it is not a "'Julie painting.  I cannot relate to the way I painted it.

Nothing is flowing off the brush.  

I am going out plein air painting once or twice 

a week, producing ordinary work which is nothing

like how I painted before covid.

I wonder how long, if ever,  it will take me to get back into the flow?

My question is - has anyone else had a long break from painting 

then had difficulty resuming in their previous vision and style?
