The rubber meets the road today with letting go so as to let in.
The class I'm taking is self-paced, and today marks the day when my pacing and the pacing of the course diverge.
For lesson one I created a dozen chaos-layer starts at Amanda's recommendation—and I can already feel the benefits of working several paintings, vs. just one—but I have brought only the first of those twelve to 'completion' just now, and lesson two landed in my inbox several hours ago.
My mind is buzzing with wanting to complete the other eleven—now! today!—wanting to figure out how I'll title this series, wanting to open lesson two and watch the videos, wanting to start lesson two … wanting, wanting, wanting.
Let go. Let in. All is well.

Well you answered my wondering! When I saw the sketches I thought to myself " how is Dotty going to finish these? Reminded me of Mardi Gras when I first saw it on Instagram! I am a big fan working more than one painting.
I so enjoy using negative space to carve something from a chaos layer. Love the spontaneity and playfulness of the chaos that shines through.
I have all sorts of characters/faces/people hanging out in my studio right now, eleven to be precise (the lady above is hanging out w me downstairs) —— social life! no distancing needed! no masks!
love love LOVE the resolution of this piece! It is peculiar (a style I adore and crave being better at) and yet perky and joy-filled! Now I am curious how you will resolve the 11 others vs next lesson conundrum...
Peculiar: precisely! I too adore and crave which is why this course called out to me. I too am curious how I will resolve the 11 others vs next lesson. Always something to stop me in my tracks and humble me. Glad the perky and joy-filled come thru : )
Why does this remind me of a famous comedian? She makes me smile :) And giggle, if I am honest. Hahaha.
Did Carol Burnett sneak into my post?! Awesome! My dad often goes on line to watch old comedy sketches of hers, laughing all over again.
