Surprise Party in My Studio
How funny is it that I can be surprised by what I see on my canvas when I'm the one who chooses the paints and uses the brush?!
But looky where this is going now!

From Possibility to Palpability
Twenty-seven days of incubation.
Every time I go downstairs in my home—probably two dozen times a day at a minimum—I glance through the door of my studio. Although my legs work just fine going upstairs and down, for twenty-seven days they are paralyzed when it comes to walking through that studio door to pick up a brush.
Nonetheless, I trust the process and keep studying my work-in-progress from the doorway even when doubts and unhelpful self-talk try their darnedest to knock me flat—and, believe me, they try their darnedest.
I don't know what shifts or how.
But today I begin to pull this painting out of the dark woods into the light of day.
