So yes, one day I went through my book and randomly did a bunch of stenciling. All of these are pre-done, I just need to pick one out and decide that it's the next one. Usually when I pick a background, I already have something I'm itching to do--I just need to find an appropriate background. Unfortunately, sometimes the background gets completely obliterated. Other times it doesn't. I already know what I'll be doing on this page. I need some art therapy, so I'll be working through an issue I think I have. I need to practice gratitude, like on the daily. I'm quick to think I'm not doing well because a picture I recently took of the artwork by a spider in my front yard got more "likes" on my instagram and facebook than any of my art ever did. So, I could think, "Man, I suck. A spider does better art than me." But instead, I need to think, "I'm so thankful for the people who DO enjoy what I do. Perhaps I'm bringing them a little happiness to them--whether it's my art, or a photo of a spider's web." I am so grateful for my supporters. I am also grateful that I am able to focus on making art right now--these days I really, really need it.
