i was in my studio, feeling stuck... so i decided to take on an idea i got from a friend.. it feels nice to have some inspiration from artists i like. that way when i look up, i see beautiful encouragement...
it is strange adjusting to being in a new city and no longer a student. i can paint whatever i want to~ so... what do i want to paint? a question that has been on my mind for a while. my work is transitioning and when that is happening, patience is important.
i was talking to my granddad about this and
he said "i need patience and i need it RIGHT NOW!"
this is how i feel.
it is amazing how "real life stuff" like groceries, errands, and doing the dishes can make my goal of going to work in the studio daily at 9 AM slip away...
it is difficult, and may i say annoying, to answer the question "have you got a job lined up?"... the skepticism of those who ask it can make me feel very silly... and small...
but i feel blessed to have been given the talents that i have...
i am thankful that i am not ever going to live a typical life with typical hours and a predictable monthly, yearly, mundane plan...
i have the responsibility of encouraging others with beauty and encouragement through art!
i want to boldly embrace my ideas and all of the dreams that are floating around in my mind... i want to live life as colorfully as possible and be more adventurous...
(but also be comfortable enough with myself to admit i am a homebody and love nothing more than curling up next to the space heater with my coffee and a good movie)
maybe i will start wearing my pink shoes that don't match anything i own again!
