It develops as we work, and work, and work. You can't rush it, only enjoy the journey along the way and try not to put too much pressure on yourself. I would love to come to one of your workshops, but that seems unlikely since I live in Kentucky. Wishing you much success with these upcoming endeavors!Sharmon Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857659019638341374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-56240441870428687092016-04-19T21:19:28.795-07:002016-04-19T21:19:28.795-07:00This is soooooo true.

I think there is a shyness to us humans, not only to reveal ourselves to others, but also to ourselves. It takes a lot of patience to be able to sit with the self, to let the self sit with an emotion, to sit with its own knowing. There is so much richness there, in that space. Only good can come of that. You are such a guidepost for so many. I'm truly grateful to see you repeating what you've said all along - because no matter how many times we've done what it takes to go to those places, we still feel shy, sometimes, and hesitant. Because you show up, it reminds us to, too. I've been wondering why my creativity isn't flowing as much these days. I've been writing a lot (because of my program) and haven't created anything visual in a long while. I have just come to realize that in my case to be able to write, I also have to engage with the part of myself that creates without words. The two act synergistically and feed each other. I will make time, even with my crazy busy schedule because... it's important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-28411843935974256142016-04-19T17:28:34.492-07:002016-04-19T17:28:34.492-07:00Excellent post, Kelly!

When I started painting, my teachers/mentors advised picking one main and maybe a secondary medium and focus on one genre, portrait or landscape, etc. my reply was how am I supposed to do that until I have explored all of them? And that is exactly what I did. Some I didn't like as much as others, but most I have worked with enough to have mastered basics. It is a fun journey!VickiRossArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09258305858132024962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-40465092329704981202016-04-19T11:09:36.677-07:002016-04-19T11:09:36.677-07:00I so agree... great post...I so agree... great post...Caterina Gigliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866569809702127806noreply@blogger.com
