Well, I've done a few paintings lately, with much thanks to Karen M Schmidt, and the time she took to write me an e-mail about her process, and the amazing step-by-step photos on her blog.

I think I'll try to do one per day. All are for sale. Unless I fall in love with them too much to let them go... Funny how that occasionally happens.

I'm trying to be "in the moment" when I do them. To ignore the voices that say "this looks terrible" when I've hardly begun. Trust the process. And even if the process produces something I'm not nuts about, to have compassion for myself. I'm still learning. With any lucky, I always will be.
