pistachio nuts and motivation
It’s hard to start. The intent is there, the inspiration even. But there is also fear, heart-stopping fear; fear of the blank space onto which the inspiration is due to pour. American artist Helen Frankenthaler summed it up well:
“I sit around
and sharpen pencils
make phone calls
eat pistachios
take a swim.
I feel I should, must,
will, paint.
It is agony
it’s boredom.
I become impatient
and angry.
Until I make a mark,
just a mark”
