Today’s projects are full of freedom, which is what happens when we consistently and persistently show up and challenge ourselves creatively to try new things.

I’ve tried over the last few weeks to show how as you try new things, you learn something new about what you like and what you don’t, and then that gives you freedom to try things a different way.

These landscapes (I did two) are a culmination of all the practice, all the lessons and all the experimenting. And as you can see compared to the two weeks projects, each week I get more confident, less confined and free to express what makes me happy.

I’ll have both projects in the free subscriber library with a full break down of both. I usually do this just for my membership students, but I thought that this would be a good lesson for everyone. If you’ve not signed up for the subscriber library you can do that easily here.

I’ll also share in the video some new inspiration and how I got the names for these pieces.

I hope you enjoy the projects. And always know that YOU are loved!
