I've been listening to Psycho-Cybernetics, and one thought has stayed with me.
We don't simply paint with our hands.
We paint from the image we hold of ourselves.
If, deep down, we believe we have to prove something, every brushstroke carries that weight.
If we believe we must make a "good painting," we stop seeing what's actually happening on the canvas.
Before you begin today, pause for a moment and ask yourself:
Who am I being as I paint today? (Which hat do I choose to wear?)
A critic?
A student?
A perfectionist?
Or simply someone curious enough to discover what wants to appear?
Sometimes changing the painter changes the painting long before changing the paint does.
☕ I'd love to know: which version of yourself arrived at the easel today?
