pushing through

mostly i am loving showing up to paint my one face a day

but some days are a little tougher than other.

this the evolution of one of those days... 

acrylics and crayons on cardboard

what i am observing with this process of having to paint 

one face a day is that i can't just give up, or move on. 

i have to push through;

 through the tough parts, through the discomfort,  

the uncertainty, the dislikes. 

i need a finished piece in a short space of time, 

a small painting i'm happy to leave as it is

and happy enough to share 

so i'm learning to be brave, bold and to let go.
