Ok, here is the story... Yesterday my mind was 100

Ok, here is the story...
Yesterday my mind was 100% restless, so I thought, probably painting some flowers will calm it down. Well, the flowers helped! They put my mind at ease, I was just focused on the flowers, no podcast or music for me yesterday, "just focus on the flowers"...and it worked! I was happy with the flowers and forgot about the restless mind.
.
And then the shadow happened. In a few words...I finished that section of the painting minutes ago (after a dozen tries)...What happened? Probably my mind didn't want to be in the shadows😂.
.
I'm now happy with it. Today I can be in the shadows and feel at ease.

Making peace with red, 6x6, acrylics on hardboard

Making peace with red, 6x6, acrylics on hardboard panel.
.
Last year I painted a floral that was also mostly light colors over a red underpainting, and I called it "Bringing peace to red", a title that had a strong meaning for me.
.
Today's painting is another one that has mostly light colors over a red underpainting, and it brought peace to red again.
.
Sometimes we fight so hard against obstacles put in our lives (sometimes very unfair obstacles) because we are resisting the change they'll bring. Until we realize that we have to be thankful of them because they are pushing us in a direction that we probably wouldn't have discovered if it wasn't because of the obstacle.
.
So, I'm calling this obstacle "red", and I'm officially making peace with it, even if just a little bit each day.

I'm so proud of my students! And so happy to have had the opportunity to meet them and share with them The Essence of Painting (4-day online painting class).

The class finished yesterday evening after looking and talking about their finished paintings and sharing with them my best studio practices so they can keep growing in their journey as artists.
.
Miss you already and looking forward to painting again with you in the near future!
