Art is Supposed to Be An Adventure!

Art is supposed to be an adventure! But I get too timid sometimes…. I started this “puddle paint” watercolor painting well, but for the last week it has been sitting around and I didn’t know what to do to it next. I was thinking about taking a black sharpie and drawing big bold hair lines. But was that a good idea??! “Stop being so safe”, I finally told myself, just do it and create. And so I did –this last hour I added all the black lines. Do I like it? Not sure. But I like it I am being brave and taking chances. And I like this quote: “Art needs the courage to fail. If your’e going to be wrong, then by God, be thunderously, magnificently and gloriously wrong!!” The painting is not done yet. I hope I can continue to boldly create it till it is done. It feels good to be bold and not be too safe!
