Motivation to create did not jump right on me in 2015. My addiction to HGTV Fixer Upper, and Buying the Beach did not help matters. I was ready to sell everything, move to the beach, sit on a balcony drinking wine and watch the waves. Reality set in so I went to the garage and got a 3 x 4 foot canvas, placed it on my easel, and looked at it for about a week. I then organized my work area and prepared it for getting in gear. That took another week but I finally put brush to canvas and began. It was soooooo hard. How easy it is to quickly get out of the practice or arting. I took process photos as I always enjoy seeing how things come together. The painting improves and regresses many times as I struggle to express myself in my work. A big thanks to Lyn Belisle for her continued encouragement and guidance. Below are a FEW of the painstaking steps I took to reach my destination on my first canvas in 2015.
