Hi Everybody and Welcome!
I am soooooooooooo excited about this new expression. And so THRILLED that it literally took me only a few minutes to make it happen. That's my topic today--how we limit our life (and art!) by living from the premise of old ideas that are no longer true. Despite all available evidence to the contrary, we still believe and act on OLD STUFF. The title of this painting is "All Evidence to the Contrary". When we tell ourselves a garbage thought about our Self--I am not enough. I can't. It will take a long time to do this. It will be alot of hard work.....QUESTION IT!
Why can't it be easy and fun? Of course we can do it! Of course there is help available!
Of course Life is meant to be joyFULL and so is creating our art. Today, be still and LET it flow. Let's let that inner critic take a relaxing hike in Hawaii while we are in paradise in our studios!
PS I am not sure if this painting is finished, but I was so excited about this blog and this idea that I couldn't wait to share it. I started with collage and used a new technique of watercolor toner/crayon with gel medium smeared on top of it with my finger to make the drawing. I may still add some yellow paint in the middle of it. I love the idea of painting metaphors!

Woo hoooo!
I guess you didn't have any problem getting this started!
You're absolutely right! Throw caution to the wind and just jump in the water!
Cool painting!
Ditto what Tracy said. Welcome to the blogoshpere.
People from all over the planet will be reading your words and looking at your art. It continues to amaze me.
Congratulations on getting started! Keep writing.
Yes, we all have to notice...and then promptly ignore the inner critic! I sometimes write a "thanks but no thanks" note to mine, to also acknowledge its noble intention to protect me from any risk, any potential failure of the ego, etc.
Thanks for sharing your images and words with us.
