That is my dream! That is all I wish to do.

I feel like this is a bright and colorful mess? I have been painting with my Basics colors and a premium white by Utrecht. The vase looked like it was going to fall over. Still does? I made the vase bigger. That was an improvement. The colors, I don’t know what happened. I know for sure that I was overthinking everything. I had all of these thoughts on my mind that had nothing to do with painting. Maybe it was this beautiful picture? I thought too much of what it looked like. The colors moved me. The blue flower and the different flowers spoke to my spirit. I was inspired by the notion of different flowers. That’s what makes our world beautiful! I was in my place. Then distraction hit. And here I am feeling like I painted for almost two hours and nothing to show for it.

The worst part is the voice that said these words. Maybe you aren’t an artist. Maybe you’re just never going to be good enough. Oh, stop! I am an artist. I was able to fix most of the details that bothered me. Plus I am layering with student grade paint. Transparent paint is hard to layer with? I suppose we all have our days. Wait! I did have a nice day. I am grateful for my paint. I did have a good lunch. That’s not including the chocolate I burned in the microwave. Ha! The breeze is moving my hair. The birds are singing. Branches are swaying. I am here! I am dancing too!

Siempre,
