Create: Letting Go Of The Fear

I have always wanted to paint however I do run into some complications.  

1.  My drawings consist of stick figures

2.  I want to be perfect and that stops me dead in my feet

3.  What I see in my mind does not come out the same on canvas

4.  I worry about what others will say about my work

5.  Fear

I give up before I even start.  Well that is going to change.  I am going to take a 12 x 12 canvas and work on it until it is done.  I'm not going to worry about it being perfect I'm going for fun and whimsey.   This is a test for me to let go and just have fun with painting.  I will be posting every week my progress and not be critical of my work, I will let go of the Fear.

One funny thing that happened I went up to my studio (which is located above the garage) to get my paints and I found out my paints are frozen.  I turned on the wall heater and started collecting my supplies.  My fingers were so cold they were hurting  I had a hard time picking up the bags where I am currently storing my rubber stamps.  After about 10 minutes I was finished and went to turn off the heat and there was barely any heat coming out yet.

Week One:  

No longer a blank canvas

Welcome to my journey and feel free to comment

Until Next Time,
