You Are the Beauty in the Story.
When I was young I used to watch Bob Ross paint his fluffy clouds and insist there were no mistakes when it came to creating. He inspired me with his belief that everyone could paint, even me.
It was years later that I began to paint. My youngest son started first grade, and I was feeling a bit lost. There was no immediate goal, nothing to attain. Painting gave me a way to get used to not knowing what comes next. And space for me to expand.
Still today, painting gives me room to explore. And a chance for a surprise to surface. Thank you for sharing in my art with me.
