Lost Passion

Sketching daily yes; painting these days, not so much.  I lost my passion for the paint mediums somewhere between surgeries these last four years when graphite pencils, charcoal sticks and pencils and a knead satisfied. If a need for color presented, crayons, pastels, markers did the trick.  The need for color did not happen often.

Is this another epiphany along the way to understanding the art within? Or is it a block?    I had no idea till last week when a new aluminum easel arrived from Dick Blick that weighs just five pounds, can support a sizable, gallery stretched canvas and can easily be moved to the backyard and left there all summer.   The new easel posed  the question as I assembled it:   what are you going to do with me?  My immediate answer was to prop a large charcoal pad on its ledge.
