After a crazy week, I approached this piece with a depleted creative well. But as I do every time I create, I ask myself what I need right now, in this moment and just start laying down paint as I process my feelings.
And what I need comes and so does the direction for what I’m creating. Turns out I needed a lot …. because I couldn’t decide what word best fit for my weariness.
Until I saw the word peace and I knew…. I needed some calm in the storm and the only way I know how to do that is to actively be grateful.
Every little thing in this piece has meaning and the background when it started was chaotic, just like me…. This piece was the perfect representation of creating peace and that we can create what we need.
