Art Therapy - Work & Play

Welcome Back!  The dream is to feel like you never have to work, and that as a professional artist, your passion, your "Play" is its own reward, and you get paid to do it! Well, most of us aren't there yet. SO how do we still fullfill our creative side while working through the monotony? Do we focus on work and delay the play for later, or find a way to blend them together? Today on the show I talk about How having fun can actually IMPROVE your productivity, and the importance of Play as a state of mind. Apologies for missing last week, this is the busiest week of the summer, so sadly a new episode wasn't ready in time.  For citation and further reading,  John Acuff, "Finish: Stop Making Perfect the Enemy of Done" Melanie Rothschild "The Art of Mistakes: Unexpected Painting Techniques & the Practice of Creative Thinking" Alan Watts, "What do you want?"
