Artists need their hands, arms, shoulders, necks, backs, legs, feet, senses of touch, taste, and smell. Everything in our bodies is connected. When you have an injury or a physical impairment that prevents you from making basic movements or using an important part of your body, it's natural to get cranky, feel tired, or even get depressed.
Right now, I have a pinched nerve in my neck - cervical radiculopathy. Typing is probably not helping, but I have an ice pack on the hurt, which felt like I was being stabbed, so things are kind of numb at the moment. Thankfully, I'm not depressed, but I was a little cranky before I could get home and apply the ice pack, and a nap seems like a great idea right now.
Anyway, I want to make something big with texture and layers, and details, although I'm not quite sure what it is yet. Maybe if I can meditate through this pain, I'll find a happy solution to the idea that's been forming in my head for a few days. Hope for me that the pinch undoes itself soon so I can feel better and of course, do some art!
