When I first began my art journey in Feberuary 2011 I started a blog http://www.asmilemaker.com. I barely knew what a blog was but I knew it was the "in thing" to do, at that time. The purpose was to document/write about my journey of becoming an artist. Calling myself an artist was beyond my imagination and it felt a little strange. Yet, I believed with every fiber in me I was being guided so I simply trusted the process. I put one front of the other and followed the guidance. I am so blessed to be able to go back and read about my thoughts, my struggles, my triumphs, every morsel from "the beginning" because I took the time to write about it.
I highly suggest journaling to everyone even if you don't think you have anything to say. Say it anyway. You never know how important it will be to your future self.
Lately, I have been re-reading some of those posts and to be quite honest... I am feel envy of the young artist I was becoming. The courage I had to create whatever I felt like creating. I trusted the guidance 100%.
It was common that if I felt I was suppose to do something out of my comfort zone.
Fear did not hold me back. I just did it!
I could go on and on........ but I won't. I am learning from those earlier times.
FAST FORWARD...
I am using those feelings to fuel me and move me onward. Not letting fear stand in my way.
I painted the portrait below yesterday. (you can watch me on my YouTube channel, the link is below.
My "comfort" style is not like this. I want to become more free flowing, loose, and big.
