Remember when you were a child and everything you made was "beautiful"?
It is still true!!! Create today knowing now what you knew then - EVERYTHING YOU MAKE IS BEAUTIFUL.
Sometimes when I do find the time to create, I just stare at a blank page and do nothing. I am blocked by my inner critic's voice "No one is going to like this.... You're faces always come out lopsided..... you still need to learn more about layering.... What is artistic about that???.... Blah Blah Blah"
Since it is pretty unlikely that my work will end up in a museum (unless I win the lotto, and build my own museum - it could happen) I just need to remind myself what I knew long ago - Everything I make is beautiful and, no matter where I am on my journey, art makes me happy - and I'll take that over being impressive any day.
Enjoy your beautiful day,

I love love love the first Monday of the New Year - I feel that I do a lot of thinking about my New Year's Resolutions on the1st - but never really start implementing a plan until the first Monday. Since my list of resolutions includes more blog posts - here I am.
I received The Book Of Awakening" from my Mom for Christmas. It's one of those books that you read a daily entry upon waking. Today's quote:
"The coming to consciousness is not a discovery of some new thing; it is a long and painful return to that which has always been." -Helen Luke
The way I interpret this: You were born fully aware and whole. You just need to get back to that place - the place before all the crap happened that messed you up. It's not about "learning" to be that person..... It's about "unlearning" the crap.
I am sure they intended it to be much more eloquent than that.
Enjoy your first wonderfully beautiful Monday of this very fantastic New Year. CHEERS!!!
