New work in progress...

I've had a creative block for the longest time... I just haven't been able to break through what was stopping me until the new year came around. I have been busy, busy, busy cleaning out closets, cupboards, toy boxes. You name it. There is a mountain of stuff outside the front door just waiting for the truck to come pick it up. As the physical clutter clears out, I can feel a new space available to clear the air of residual spiritual negativity. This, in turn leaves me with a new perspective on the true freedom I have to be creative.

So I got out my brand new set of watercolor pencils that I got for Christmas and just went to town last night. The mantra I'm using as I create is, "There are no mistakes." This especially helped me when I took a little break and came back to find that a little child had got hold of my pencils and added a few scribbles of his own. I looked at it and instead of getting mad, I smiled and said to myself, "There are no mistakes." I continued to work and turned the scribbles into part of the picture.

As with most things I draw, I just let my sub-conscious come out so I really don't know where its going. Just letting it all out and seeing where it will take me.
