Stuck

I have been having trouble thinking of ideas lately. I think I have "artists block"; new ideas are hard to come by in my head. Maybe it is just because of so much happening around me, but it has been a decent amount of time that this has been happening, and now that I have college stuff mostly out of the way I have no idea why I can't think of new ideas. I thought I had a break through last week in anatomy, but turns out it was only a temporary release. I was learning about how we have "finger prints", well not really fingerprints, like individual ridges that are unique to each of us allover our body but mainly on our hands, and I thought it would be so cool to do a piece that showed this. Especially because I have been trying to get back into my hand print painting and footprint painting things that I started exploring last year. I have been "playing", and when I combined my playing with my anatomy idea it turned into a project that I am finding very relaxing and fun to do, but I am not quite sure where it is headed. It appears to have no relation to my "theme" and I am not entirely sure how to branch out of it. I have been experimenting with colors and paper sizes as well as shapes of the hand prints but nothing has been really sticking out to me too much. I am hoping that some feedback could be helpful and inspiring, but I am going to keep powering through in the mean time and continue playing.
