Buying Creativity

Ok - so maybe I can pretend I am being patriotic by spending ..but really I am attempting to buy my way to creativity with just one more art supply purchase? It was on sale...and I had a discount coupon too..so I ordered one of those little palm plein aire paintbox/easels...Will I suddenly work better with this adorable wooden box? Will I venture out to the great outdoors on a more regular basis? I don't know..but I am thinking that this will be a cool little tool for easy mobility. I have painted out with the wheeled cart, the portable folding easel, the collapsing table and folding stool. Yes the results were worth it, but the task is still daunting- load the truck, unload and drag the stuff...It is too easy to give up on the idea before it is begun. So this little box has a thumb hole in the bottom to hold and you can work on little panels..ofcourse you need the discipline of a limited palette as well. I think it could be a good exercise for me to get out there quickly and frequently..or else I am indeed just trying to buy my way to creativity instead of putting in the sweat...but it was on sale!
