June was a good month but I noticed that my collection of work is lacking development. I've just realised that from reflecting on my work, which I do monthly. I don't really love anything I painted and I feel my painting skills haven't improved. It is like my art practice got stagnant - I was enjoying painting the natural world and everyday life but I wasn't fully satsified with the finished pieces. Perhaps I need to change things up and get excited about my new work again.

As this project is about learning as an artist and getting into the habit being creative every day, I am trying not to feel bad about it and figure out how to banish the stagnancy.

Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas - please share with me! Thank you for sticking by me and rooting for me.
