I love seeing your creative process. It reminds me of writing in that I often don’t know where my story is going until I go through the motions and put words on the page. And the changes you made to get to your final painting are so much like our edits.

Thanks Linda and yes, exactly. With writing I usually only know my starting point not my ending point. I find the path and the final destination along the way. It's the same curiosity applied in both cases.

Interesting that in the Judi Dench's book that I'm currently reading she says acting is a kind of editing as well.

Beautiful- the process and the end result. I’ve found myself in a similar posture this week but around work instead. I’ve had several ideas that required flexibility to find an ultimate solution. Frustrating at first but gratifying when I finally got there.

Thanks friend and yay! I know you were feeling a little stuck when we chatted about work last week. Glad you found a creative solution(s)!
