At this time on my creative path I began to "Imagine the Possibilities". My mind was filling with many ideas and aspirations. I was feeling unstoppable until I drew this girl. She was my 3rd drawing/painting and she challenged me from the beginning. Thru the process of drawing her she revealed to me that I was afflicted with perfectionism. I just couldn't get her, particularly her hair, to be perfect! It dampened my spirits for only a short while then I surrendered and just added a flower to her head. It actually turned out cute!This lesson of letting go of perfectionism was the beginning of many more to come.
Teresa, I love how brave you are with your art, and I especially love what you say about perfectionism - there is NO perfection in art. Only trying & failure & loving & hating & daring & accepting & surrender. If this is only your 3rd drawing/painting, you are going places!! Bravo to you. xx
