What???
I find the most interesting images on Pinterest, a Facebook application. I chose to share this one because I like it and because my art does make itself...almost. The more I am in that famous "flow", the more free of conscious thought or struggle my work is.
What's funny about this "making itself" thing is, is that I have no control. No matter how colorful or "wild" I am feeling., my art comes out looking the way IT wants to! I have no say-so. And, even though I long to do large, bright and loose crazy splashes of color, or funky, gritty gray and black compositions, I can't. I'm just not willing to make this a forced process. My intention is to be REAL, to be in alignment with my soul. So, I get what I get, and I feel blessed.

I so relate to your comments. When I try to make something it just doesn't happen. What comes out is what comes out. Thank you for this post.
I appreciate your feed-back! I believe it's actually best to just "go with it", but also know I would be in real trouble if I were asked to do someone's portrait! <3
