Have you ever taken a moment to reflect that our art and our attitude are connected? Think about this for a second and let me take you through my thoughts and feelings on this subject.

Before you sit down at your painting and begin this process, I want to ask you something? Are you approaching this with a mindset of…gosh I’m just not an artist, and I doubt I’ll be able to create something beautiful?

I am here to tell you that we are ALL artists at heart. Art is simply another form of self expression. Sure, some of us have more practice than others. But it is not something that is reserved to just a few “talented” individuals. It’s for ALL of us, and art has the ability to express a piece of our souls that words simply can’t.

What we think and how we feel is directly related to what shows up on the canvas, particularly when we are painting from a more intuitive approach.

Give yourself the opportunity to let your art emerge beautifully without putting parameters on it by infusing self doubt. Allow your art to shine. I always tell myself, “I have all the time in the world to allow this art to emerge beautifully.” Give yourself the benefit of the doubt and allow the beauty of what is inside to emerge on the canvas. You have got this!
