Trust....



I've been creating a commission painting of late and found it somewhat challenging: not the subject, not the skill level, not the design, but the motivation. Why was I having difficulty making time to paint? The commission certainly felt good when I took it on.... Until I realized this artwork wasn't about me. I am the tool like a brush or the paint. This painting is for a gift and when I tapped into the how much love and the reason why I was creating, the energy, the time and paint just flowed.

When I was creating the center of the painting ,which is the heart image, I trusted the process and my intuition more than I ever had before. No self judgment, no self criticism. It felt good! And my client loves it.....
