I have been painting abstracts. I start out trying for loose and large (ish). Before I know what happened, everything is tiny and tight. Ugh!!  Today I thought I would go to one of my defaults, and try to salvage my bruised ego.

The resulting painting is not great. Not bad either. I am particularly happy with the sky, mostly because I thought I had botched it halfway through.  And there was joy in the creating! That is a win anytime! I will try again with the abstracts tomorrow.

Alicia Tormey posted inspiration yesterday. A perfect reminder at the perfect time. Never ceases to amaze me how the universe works. I had listened to the video clip, gosh, maybe two years ago. I was very glad of the reminder, thought you might appreciate it as well.

Do you see the face in the clouds?  Happy creating to you!
