monday

the drama continues........

a week of failures? trials and learning i guess....it may not take me anywhere right now but i think every piece of failure just paves the way toward something successful. being an artist includes failing a LOT. good thing i got all of my 'canvases' for free on the side of the road this week...hahahahah (another person's failed shelving project perhaps?)

on a happier note, i did something today that felt really natural, and i liked it. i've been trying to 'find myself' again, and so i guess trying out all these kinds of paintings was/is so that i can start to develop my style again, since i've lost my focal point.  i have all these breakdowns where i'm just like what am i doing, why am i doing it. last week i tried to do 8 paintings in one week
.  (finished none ) this week i'm going to do one. but i will take the time to do it properly. i make myself sick trying to demand so much from myself, stressing about. no wonder im going bonkers

i need to start small, plan wise, and dream big

ok, you're right on about the last part - start small, plan, dream big! but something i read lately said, "don't worry so much about 'finding yourself' - instead, work on re-inventing yourself. we constantly need to be evolving. haha, i know that's easier said than done:) btw, i like the squiggly stuff!
