My collaboration with my best friend last week opened up
some of my resistance to finishing the paintings that were sitting
not-quite-done on my studio table. Funny how just having fun with paint can
remind me how much I love doing this and how I don’t have to look at a painting
seriously, I can simply ‘keep going.’
As a result, I finished one painting this weekend, which I
really like and I have a couple waiting to dry and then I’ll finish them up,
too.
Yay for pushing through blocks to get to a painting that I
truly enjoy.

I like the idea that this butterfly is
exploring petals and flowers at night. So, the normal vibrant colors of the
flowers are awash in blues and silvers, as if painted by the moon, and the
butterfly is soft gray and silvery.
Among the petals are encouraging words: hope, say yes, believe, love, dream, breathe, radiate. And next to the butterfly is "soulful spirit."
