It's been a long time since I've drawn or painted.....far too long, in fact. Some months ago, had an idea for a painting and for some reason, haven't felt like being creative, so the idea stayed a rough drawing in a book.
This weekend - the warm weather may have helped - decided to give it a go and unleash my creativity(!!!). I've called it Lotus Meditation. Have to stop myself from being too critical as it's not quite worked out how I wanted. But, as I said before, I'm trying to be less self critical, to enjoy the process and to be brave about sharing, regardless of the outcome.
I guess I should not leave it so long. Need to stop myself from saying that! Everytime I find myself using the word "should" I'm trying to turn my thought pattern around to: "I can but I choose ....." Thus so far, for various reasons, I've chosen not to paint or draw. Going forward, I choose to draw & paint more, which will improve my skill & technique.
