things in conversation :D

Guess... where this is?

This is the photo I laughed about taking, freezing, hammering, retaking…. Only to have a photo judge knock me for making unrealistic ice in photoshop. I will forever laugh about that!

This year, I'm bringing the spirit in which this painting was created: I'm letting go. Yes, I chose the colors. Yes, I had a design in mind. However, the entire point of this style is fluidity, allowing the paint to go where it wants. To create beautiful, intricate combinations I could never imagine, lines and detail I could never draw. This year, I want to be more fluid. I have an idea for what I want in the future, but the timing and the outcome is not defined. I need to be okay with that. To have more patience and trust, more grace. Allow space for something beautiful to grow, even if I'm not exactly sure of what it is or how it will look. To trust that it will be better than I could ever imagine.
