Do you wish you were making more art, or even any art at all? Does your stomach turn inside out at the thought of a blank canvas? Or do you have a heck of a time completing a project? Do you find the artistic process at times absorbing and gratifying and at other times miserable and uncertain? Do you want to keep making art anyway? Would you like a bit of support from others who struggle with the same issues? This is not, I repeat, NOT a group for critiquing each other's work. This is a g …
