This past weekend, I showed a painting at a group show of this drawing that I’d finished back in 2021. Someone I spoke to at the show said that I had some strong pieces and it’s for those that I should keep creating. Not everything we do or make will be significant, but we keep going for the unexpected gems that appear somewhere in the process.
It’s a painting I couldn’t work on until this year, perhaps because of limited technical skills that had to develop over time or because of a mental block I could finally let go, but I’d also been invited to participate in a show that inspired me to pick it back up.
It’s a good reminder that sometimes good things take time to develop and maybe there is a right time for everything. Looking forward to the unknowns with courage <3
