Why don't you do art anymore?
A friend was asked why, as she replied: "I am not sure I have any answers as to why I don't do art anymore. Where is the desire and the drive to create? Do I need an audience? Do I need more time alone? Do I need more like minded people around me? Am I running out of energy? Am I too busy doing other things? Am I bored with what I do? Do I spend too much time on the Internet? How can I get focus back---I do seem a bit scattered? Is there a point to or purpose in what I do? Does it matter? Maybe all these questions, plus probably others, actually reveal the reasons for such a hiatus from creating. So, in the twilight of my years, I question whether it makes a difference to me or others. I don't know."
