Telling My Story #4

10-7-11
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.

  1. 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
