Art imitates life
In all my years of painting, I realized that when I stand in front of a canvas, I can either let the fear of failure encompass me, or I can just fearlessly take out my brush and start painting. I’ve also realized that art imitates life whenever I am fearful in front of a canvas, I’m typically fearful about some thing that’s going on in my personal life. The only solution that I have found in my art, and in my life is to metaphorically grab the paintbrush and just start painting and not worrying about the outcome. Because life and itself has a lot of challenges and if you let fear stop you you’ll miss out on what life has to offer , and you’ll also miss out on a beautiful, messy, imperfect canvas. Life is about the messiness and the imperfection and I’ve come to accept that so the next time you’re standing in front of a white canvas and it scares you …just lean into the fear …pick up your brush and start painting, you never know when lightning will strike .
