      Yay, thanks! I find in-process images so interesting. Once I’m finished a painting, it can be hard to remember how far it’s come since the beginning!

  • Wonderful piece of art!
    And can so relate to what you wrote. I also had to learn that play is important. And rest! And caring for one self. Not an easy lesson. But I think it was worth it!
    And I also totally understand that making art is healing. Sometimes I can not believe that I get to create AND then get paid for it. *laugh* Even if noone would like my art I would still want to create it – as it is such a wonderful process for me. :-)

      Ursula – I think that’s one of the best parts of getting to do something you love – it’s so fun, and there’s the extra perk of other people liking your work, too!

    Wow!!! I love the topic of this post and I love the finished painting; the colors and energy are fantastic!! Thank you for showing us the process you went through when creating this piece. I need to spend less time worrying about my corporate project management job and spend more time Letting Go and painting :-) Great post, thank you Elizabeth!!

      Shannon, yay! I’m so glad the painting spoke to you. It’s always a struggle to make time for creating, but it feels so good when you finish something you’re proud of! I’d encourage you to definitely do some painting. :)

  • LOVED seeing where this went! I really love the final painting, it soo speaks to me, but it’s also so interesting to see what stages it went through to get there. Sometimes the end result only comes through first having gone through a different process. I think that’s especially true for abstract and intuitive art. Thanks for sharing Elizabeth!

      Iris: fabulous! thanks so much for commenting, and I’m so happy you like the painting. I agree about the process – you often have to go through those difficult stages to get somewhere new.
