You in your art

Underneath the color, the water, the light, the composition — woven through it all— is ingredient we haven't expressly talked about.  You.

No matter how much experience you have, or how much success you've found, you are never NOT in your paintings.  There is only one of you that will ever exist in all of time. Only one person who can make the art you're here to make.

Learning to paint mostly isn't about the techniques. It's about becoming more yourself — and revealing that to the rest of us in what you make.  

This episode is my spiel about how precious it is that we do this thing, this making of paintings on watercolor paper - as only we each can.  

Thank you for being here. I'm so glad you're listening - and painting.
