That’s it. 2.5 hours, one finger. Ya. This is the slow part but it didn’t feel like a struggle like yesterday. It’s felt good and detailed and zennnnnnn

Just wait until I do an Oil painting one. I started most of that journey here!

It’s been awhile since I have popped on here. Moving has been more challenging than I had originally thought. Between not having my furniture show up, the stress of trying to find thrift stores for furniture, and having lots of self doubting moments, it’s been a struggle. I am beginning to think I made the wrong decision, but my saving grace is that I still have the house I moved from. Turns out that the memories that I was trying to run away from so I could process, are the very same ones I miss. I am writing through tears, so I apologize if I am forgetting words or how to spell them. I joined a watercolor group down here, they meet once a week, I have only been once. It’s hard to push yourself to socialize and talk to new people when you have autism. I miss painting, and I need more storage for my paint room here, it’s also much smaller than in my other house. It just doesn’t feel like home here😥 I will try to be more active on here, but I haven’t been feeling creative lately. Love you all.

Even when you’ve been doing this for years, we all have days where there is more friction than slip. I just felt like I was questioning every brush stroke and every color. But I NEED it to be hard!!!. Honestly, if every day was easy, I would get bored. That’s just me. Sure I’m bummed and tired and a little annoyed with myself. But I’m still going to get back at it tomorrow…. And the next day…. And the next. Today I spent 2 hours and made atrocious progress. Only a little bit of that hand on the left and I honestly feel like it’s all wrong. I know it’s time to stop. Tomorrow will be better. Tell me what you overcame today.
