It's 2014 and I, like lots of other people created my yearly to do list and created my goal lists and on and on as we routinely do in a new year. Then I got up and threw it all away! After going over my list and seeing most of my goals where about being "better" i got really sad as if I am not good enough now?! I am on a journey of self love and accepting me for who I am and if creating lists or goals that emphasize that I am not already good, then that list does not match my self love.
My art is also changing and evolving as I am digging deeper into self to find out what is there. Scary? Absolutely, for I am not going for end results of sellable works, I am noticing the process and the steps of process to bring me to the other side. I am allowing myself to be in process, (which is wicked scary) and I am not defining myself as a good artist or bad, just that I am an artist. Artist expand and grow and go threw many stages and changes through out their careers and I am no exception. I am doing things that scare me instead of what is comfortable. And as art mimics life this is as happening in my day to day living.
Next week I start a new job and I am nervous as hell! Same field but and entirely different aspect of it. For those of you who don't know, I am in the construction equipment industry, selling and renting of equipment.
So even in the change of a job I will allow my self to just be me, and after all that is why they hired me in the first place! LOL
So with a new blog a new job and a different outlook on life and self I hope you will find something to keep you coming back on over to see what I am up to!
I will post sketches and paintings and tell about my process along the way!
As always,
Live LIfe in Color!
