I pretty much took a school-year long break from art after spending my entire life in the art studio for a year. This summer when I returned I discovered something:
I have pretty much stopped drawing though because I am painting. I have come to place with the painting that I have been working on for the past month or so that it is getting worse before it gets better, so I am taking a break to return to my familiar stomping ground of acrylic+newsprint+medium+oil=something?. Also, there is this mouse that has recently been making itself known in the basement (where I paint), and while it is cute and I have no problem with mice, once having owned one and also having lived on a hallway with twelve or so rats--and this particular mouse is quite cute and gray with large black eyes--but it keeps on running around and I am worried that it will run on my feet. So it is good to be able to just sit on the porch and glue things instead of having to be in the basement.
