You can't see it until...

I'm painting again. 😊
Artist and author Lynda Barry said it so well: "There's the drawing you are trying to make and the drawing that's actually being made—and you can't see it until you forget what you were trying to do."

Dear friends, Lynda Barry is talking about life, too. 

Forget it and keep going.

    1. You should consider linking your art to DVArtist's weekly "Friday Face OFF" post at her blog:

  2. It's so hard letting go of those expectations, what I see in my head and what I can do in real life:)

  4. Codex*waves back*. Love your frogged. Frogie. Can't be bothered to correct autocorrect. This is the first time you shared I think. Made me smile. Glad you're painting again.

    Lynda Barry is great.

  5. Codex: Art journaling is the format that allowed me to just create regardless of outcome. If only we could get out of our own way.
