Day 59 Just doing it

I haven't been writing a lot in my last few blogs because as I have mentioned in other posts- this daily creation has trickled down to other parts of my life. It got me questioning why do I make sure I have time to paint now (when i didn't before) and work through all the issues that might arise, but won't do it in other aspects of my life? And suddenly movement has been added in my life, healthier eating, increased meditation, and purging of things I have been holding on for years both  materialistically and mentally. The biggest lesson so far is, just doing it and not worrying if I am doing things perfectly or even correctly. And it has made a world of a difference in my life and it has only been 2 mos (tomorrow).  I am excited to see what I will discover on the 12th month. :D

Day 57

Here is today's painting. I am totally exhausted because I worked and had to squeeze in some exercise time. Painting was my relaxation.

Day 56 Testing skills

Another gloomy day here

So today I decided to test my skills to see what I have learned- so I painted the memory piece from Jan 23 again.

I am happier with the sky and I see improvements in my water too.
Yay!

Day 54 World events

I don't like watching the news...but its tough to escape it at this time. Too many changes happening globally- whether its in wars, government issues, natural catastrophes or energetic shifts. I can feel the shifts,and not being a crier to release the sadness I just feel off balance. So today's watercolor is about that. How I wish i could heal the pain of others everywhere.

if my tears could heal-watercolor

I debated on putting a reflection of something in the tear that the hand is holding, but since I work on my paintings in a limited time, I opted not to.

Day 53

Show me the way- watercolor

Today's painting was from my imagination. The actual painting has deeper colors. It follows the "little girls" series  with the full moon and bare trees. The whole point of these painting is to evoke the fear and loneliness one feels when at night. And yet.. with the full moon there is a light to guide you and find your way, even if it is done slowly and may have obstacles in the way.
