Going Through

Buenos Dias! I’m getting my day started with a little coffee and a quick workout at home. Possibly heading downtown for a walk and some inspiration.

Yesterday, I spent all day painting and after some struggle, I finished the piece here. It’s titled “In My Death’s Head. Salvador Dali’s “Ballerina in Deaths Head” inspires it. I must admit that I was afraid of starting this piece; I was afraid of the shading and detail. But Helen Keller once said, “The best way out is always through.” I often go through this feeling of fear when starting most of my Little Girls. And so, for a few days, I went through the fear; I went through the process. I'd show up to the canvas and paint a few strokes here and there. Yesterday, I sat down and finished it; it felt amazing. I even did a little happy dance.

Next up is Dali’s Burning Giraffe, possibly some more Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and My Fair Lady. And on the table sit, my white and black swans along with a new Little Girl of Michelle Obama.

Have a beautiful Tuesday day. Go ‘through’ it all and enjoy the experineces.
