I have LEANED on my art the last few weeks, something that I have never done before. There have been many tumultuous times in my life when I have been unable to focus on the creative side. My daughter once asked me why I couldn't paint during those difficult times, releasing the anger, fear or grief into that emotional medium. I told her then that I couldn't paint unless I was at peace...I was wrong! I simply didn't know how to express those feelings. I didn't think I had it in me. Experience is teaching me otherwise.
I am finding new joy in painting my way through my emotions. I have a million and one ideas bombarding me right now, begging to become emotion personified. I can't explain why I have been pushing my emotions down into a tiny place inside me, but I feel as if there is a butterfly trying to break free, and if I am brave enough, you might just see a whole lot more of my creativity soon. I am excited! I have a feeling of anticipation, like something new and joyous is about to happen. I can hardly wait!
