Getting into the spirit

Life really walloped me hard during August and I didn’t do any painting for… 4 weeks? It felt so good to get back in the swing of things last week with a little practice inspired by @thiswritingdesk on Instagram, to get me trying a little perspective. I’ve been nervous to really embrace learning new skills and techniques — what if I try and fail? — but I’ve been painting long enough now to know that I continue to enjoy it, and find value in stretching out of my comfort zone at times.
