Feb 19, 2011:
I have been trying to create art since my son was born. I have been out to my studio numerous times, setting it up, moving things around. I have done a little bit in my sketch book. I have had a ton of ideas.
but...
Until today, I have not painted. Today I broke through the barrier and painted. First I gessoed three canvases, covering previous paintings that didn't quite work. These are drying.
Then I practiced on a little canvas board I had.
I am quite happy with this. It felt amazing to try things out again. It felt great to let go of expectations. Let go of what someone else might "think" and just... go with the flow.
