SO i was standing at my show a couple of weeks ago and looked over at one of my paintings hanging and thought to myself with 💯 clarity: aww dammit i wish there was a sunny sky over those sweet ass bloomy shacks bethy. and i couldnt look again
😅🏡☀️🙈
SO saturday i LOOKED!! then played through the 'but what if i fuck it up's  by asking myself WELL WHAT DID YOU REALLY WANT with this painting? fast answer: I WANTED BLOOM. 
🌷🌼🌸🌺
so it became clear the bloom id established needed WARMTH. i thought about how warmth comes on slow and steady, and did that. saw the perfect warm sunny day just easing into golden hour, which was an exercise in patience and play- of adding color, then taking it away- this got FUN like puzzle piece finally fits FUN 
🧩🤩🌈🖼️
BEST LESSON: if i believe i didnt do something right, if i think i messed up, i dont need to worry about it, i need to TAKE ACTION! 
🍒🍒 on top: not being too precious about something, risking a loss in earnest hopes of improvement = GOLDEN 💛🏆🍯✨ regardless of the outcome. xoxo
