I am a "late bloomer" artist exploring with paints. Creative life energy goes into a painting and for the most part, I like what I paint. I've been considering lately if I am too attached to my creations. In my mind, I should be able to paint something then turn right around and paint over it and start something new. But NO! I want to keep these.
Enter the Universe giving me the "let go" message... The other day, my husband accidentally knocked off the stand a plant in a recently painted clay pot. I was able to re-pot the plant, and I think it will survive. The pot, however, went into the trash in over a dozen pieces. Goodbye, art.
I started another painting and promptly wrecked it with a glob of paint in a non-fixable spot. For the first time, I painted over the whole thing, and I'm starting over with a new idea that will come to me. I'm going with famous painter Bob Ross' sentiment: it was a "happy accident." I suspect I've made it over the "attachment" hurdle.
Have you noticed the ultra-cool, programmable, under-the-eaves lights that are appearing for the holiday? We have them! My husband braved the roof work and extension ladder climbs to install them with me nervously "holding" the ladder and being a runner. Our neighbor, a Broncos fan, has them also, and his were blue and orange on Sunday for the game. Fun, year-round lights with no more climbing, untangling, and fuss!!! Yippee!!!
HO! HO! HO!
