The intention of my blog has been to document my creative journey. That's why this story is significant.
Today I was going thru art stuff that I've been holding onto. To my surprise I came upon 5 pieces of art on watercolor paper that I did in 2019. This was over 3 years ago. The sizes range from 18x24 to 20x24.
Let me explain the significance of these pieces... I began my creative art journey in 2011, I was 59 yrs old. I had no art experience I just "knew" I was suppose to be an artist, creating art. So I began.

This journey has been filled with it's ebbs and flows yet even in the lowest times I knew I was never going to quit. I am better now but for years I didn't believe I was good enough. I was caught up in the comparison game which held me back. Today I find myself doing the same thing but I have learned to recognize it and I shift my thoughts.
Currently I have been struggling with creating and learning the principles of abstract art. When I discovered these pieces today my heart was warmed and I was filled with gratitude. I am taking it as a message to just keep doing what I'm doing and keep believing.
