Speaking the truth....I've had such difficulty painting anything since the beginning of the summer, then I remembered and put into practice a mentor's wise words about "painting mindlessly". So I finally let go and forgot about everything, not caring about the outcome or how the painting looked and came up with this...Spirit Woman.
It was such a relief to enjoy painting something again after having such a hard time, getting caught up in being afraid to ruin what I already had put on canvas, getting past the bottom of the curve so to speak. It was quite paralyzing and kept me from taking paintings where they needed to go. I have a half started painting waiting for me to let loose on.....oh dear, I have to get brave all over again.
