Dont fret FW, I was talking to a very talented artist a few weeks ago who stops painting for months on end and even a few years at one point. When you put so much into something its hard when you start to realise that you are trying your best to ignore flagging enthusiasm. But its a cyclic thing and maybe you'll be back sooner than you think, refreshed and hopping from stone to stone at the crack of dawn!
In the meantime if you find it impossible to stay away, a trip to Boleycarrigeen would be great if the need grabs you!
