inspiration wednesday + video

it always feels like a lot of pressure to start in the first page of a new journal and to be honest, this page took a couple twists and turns before it found its way here. the process of my own creative ambivalence is sometimes fascinating to me. even as i watched this weeks video back while editing i surprised my self. creating is about making choices in the forward motion of an art piece...i am learning to trust my process a little more each time!

watch this weeks video...

Beautiful page as always, it kinda looks like you were in Australia mode. The page just got me thinking of the beaches and wonderful nature down under lol! It really also shows how wonderful it is to paint from just being and not by thinking to much♥
