"Day at the Beach 3" by Kevin Brewerton on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n

Say what you will about winter (and I have), it’s certainly good for creative productivity. There’s nothing like long nights and freezing temperatures to keep you anchored at your desk or easel for long periods of time. My wife and I whiled away more than our fair share of hours during the winter months \u2013 me typing away, her painting diligently.<\/p>\n

"Summer Shade" by S. Josephine Weaver on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n

But now that it’s getting nice out I have a question for all you artists out there \u2013 how do you do it? It’s torture for me to be indoors right now, but at least I know I’m in good company. In studios all around the world, artists are forgoing the vitamin D they need and staying indoors in order to create.<\/p>\n

"Mirror Mountain" by Jennifer Childs on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n

Obviously, there are many artists out there who prefer to work en plein air<\/em>, probably for this very reason. That, and they find landscapes particularly moving. For the rest of you, fill us in on your motivation \u2013 what do you do to stay on top of your work when the sun is shining, streams are gurgling, and barbecues are firing up on nearby patios?<\/p>\n

"Untitled Landscape #11" by Steven Miller on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n

Personally, I could really use some insight because the closest I can get to working outdoors is to write articles about landscape artists. And truthfully, after a long New England winter and spring, I need something to keep me honest. Knowing that scenes like these are just out there waiting for me is a bit much!<\/p>\n
