She made me dig deep, this little one.

It started out as mixed media play with my beautifully pigmented neocolors and there was much I loved about her. I could tell her face wasn’t fully resolved yet and with me trying to rework an area, I lost my way completely. I found myself scraping back the mess I had made and starting her face from scratch. I was silently freaking out… I’m rusty and problem solving doesn’t often freak me out anymore but last night it felt like a lot. After midnight and working methodically with the tiniest brush I have, I found her new darling little face and I love her even more. I know this familiar ground and I’m no stranger to losing my way and finding it again but I’ve been feeling vulnerable and my eye is a bit out and I know I should always trust the process but maybe last night I needed to a little reminder.

I am so grateful for the new lessons this little SeriousOne taught me and I love her oddness so much.

I am so grateful to my studio and my painting at the moment.
