trying to get it back

I have recently mentally overcome the idea of painting and artwork being more than a hobby. I am in my 4th semester of college, and i have been a studio art major for 3 out of the four. I was in the mindset of art being a hobby, but i want to live it and breathe it and taste it. I want to wake up in the morning with ideas and inspiration. 

I have been struggling with purpose and happiness and determination. I need a path and or at least an arrow pointing in some sort of direction. It doesn’t have to be a promising direction. I just need to realize my intent. Today was my day. 

However, the painting i am currently working on has me stuck. I have a strong idea i want to convey and i have good images and good ideas of images, but i want more. I don’t want it to fit guidelines and rules. I want to start pushing limits and have people feel it. 

Maybe I’ll post the finished product and some sort of artist statement.
