My paintbrushes and paints finally called to me this morning. What joy to paint this little fellow. Like settling into a sunny space on a cold day.

I know I mention this a lot- but there is always a point where a portrait starts to feel like the soul of what you’re creating starts speaking to you. As though it’s reaching across some divide. I struggle, as most artists do, with the “ugly phase” of a project. And many would say that this feeling is just the breakthrough past tjar moment… but I don’t believe that it is. Many of these are portraits of beloved family members who have passed on- and I know in my heart that they want to reach out to those for whom I’m working to comfort them. To communicate that where they are is beautiful, and peaceful, and without pain. And that they wait there to greet those they’ve left behind- and maybe their portrait can be a window to press a palm against until that time comes. In the end- it just makes me grateful to be the steward of that love letter from beyond.

I try to, through creating, identify and observe things about myself that help me understand myself better. Things that has taught me: 1. I am absolutely sh*te at counting small items in a pattern. I have stitched and ripped this portion of the design out three times over the past two hours. 2. I absolutely should only do this activity in bite sized chunks of time for the most success. And 3. I can persevere- I WILL get this section done. Maybe not this morning, but any thing that is beautiful is worth working and laboring to create.
