Art is such a wonderful world

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Pablo Picasso

What a wonderful quote. And just now as I was about to work on this post, another blogger posted about feeling like your work isn’t enough. You play a comparison game. I should fill up the page. I should work on patterns or certain motifs. I can recall some time ago when I set a goal to fill up my pages. Then a few days ago I came to my senses. I’m just going to trust the process. Ok, I am on a roll with textures right now. I’m going to watch a video on textures but I’ve realized this.

The very point of practice is not about building skill. The point of every project is that you get brighter and bolder. Each project allows you to wash away the dust of every day life.

This flower is beautiful. I was building these words of self-love. All good words by the way. Now that I realize so much, I am going to scan this flower and put it on watercolor paper. It’s going into my shop. It’s going to be beautiful. It’s a beautiful flower.

Simplemente,
