Ever wonder why you just can't get to that 'it's a great painting' phase? I can assure you, it's all in your head.

Hi It’s the lady who sees herself in you. (Except I’m 80). When you picked up your beautiful black cat I thought oh my, more confirmation of how alike we are. I have a big black cat ( 18 lbs) too. I rescued Black and his brother Smoke a few years ago and love them very much. I’m loving how you demonstrate love and grace to your self by learning to see something of beauty in your art work. You are such an inspiration to me. I still struggle with creating abstract paintings. But watching you encourages me to press on. Don’t ever give up. You are reaching more people than you can imagine. Thank you. Linda in Texas.

Embrace the struggle as a process of play. I’m happy that you are inspired and have cats to snuggle. 🥰

Love watching you work. Analyzing, covering, layering, fearless… maybe not fearless but courageous! Frustration but perseverance to carry on . We all struggle and sometimes a glimmer gives us hope. Thank you for sharing your journey.

You are so helpful. Today, I’m restarting the book art you suggested last fall and going to use today’s suggestions to get myself going again. Besides the ideas you offer, you help me believe it’s all doable and within my reach-so thank you and Happy 2024!
