Surrender

It’s another rainy day in LA. For the past couple of days, I have not felt well.

I woke up this morning feeling heavy and in need of wanting to write. I have not posted for quite some time. But after reading an article about the importance of ‘blogging’ for artists I have decided to give it another shot and to keep on posting.

The piece here is titled “My Clown of Monkeys.” As obvious, it is Frida Kahlo inspired. Having been sidetracked with other projects, it is my first finished ‘Little Girl’ in quite some time. I have two more Frida inspired pieces in the works, but I am struggling with them; they feel flat and in need of some texture. And so today, I will add some texture and keep on resting.

I must admit that I’ve been afraid of sitting down and working on these pieces. Afraid of making my mistakes and of them not turning out how I have imagined. But then I remember that it takes one stroke of color at time, because in the end, there are no mistakes. I just need to let go and surrender to the magic of who they are to become.

Surrender to the magic of who you are.
