What do You do When You've Hit a Creative Wall?

We all experience it. There's nothing more intimidating than a blank canvas. Sometimes our ideas flow like water and sometimes the well is completely and utterly dry. What do you do when you've hit a creative wall? Sometimes I have so many ideas rolling around in my head that I end up doing nothing because I can't focus on one thing. Other times I can't come up with anything that would hold my interest long enough to put one brushstroke on a canvas. So, when I can't come up with anything good, I paint fruit. That's not to say that fruit isn't a worthy subject in and of itself. It is. Look in any gallery or museum. But it's can be a simple subject. No elaborate planning required. And it gives me a lot of freedom to play around with color, line, form. It's very forgiving. It's hard to mess up a pear. And I usually come away with a small painting that's really neat and different, and my creativity is jolted back on track. Try it sometime!
