Oh Barbara, I hear you. I hope that the right words reach your inner wisdom to guide you well. big hugs

That’s a lovely story, Anna. I’m so glad it spoke to you. xo

My journey to inner harmony began 2 years ago with this work:

I love the idea that you need to remove internal and external pressure and move in creativity according to your own internal personal rhythm.

After several difficult years in my life with constant work on the stream, for a long time I felt like a squeezed lemon. Then more space for art began to appear in my life. I went into painting because I didn’t owe him anything. I drew just to draw. Over time, this process began to become more complicated, requirements and limits appeared (we always start to drive ourselves into limits if the external level of stress is very high). Then I took a break from work. A new stage began in my life – the birth of life and the expectation of a child.

So my creativity began to become slower, it became intuitive, meditative, I began to experiment. I watched how the material was transformed on the surface of the canvas, how new textures and textures were created. I began to contemplate.

I am now a full time artist. Often you have to work on deadlines, if we are talking about commission work, to plan something. But contemplation is often present in my personal work. And when the stress level builds up, I give myself a break, I align my inner harmony through color and work.

HI Shawni: Oh I’m so pleased this post speaks to you. I’m pumped about the challenge too! Narrowing down supplies to a few good ones is one of the most powerful creativity boosters I know. Happy purging and creating! Until then, if you haven’t already, you might enjoy this free class. How to Be a More Productive Artist
Cheers!

As DCLA mentioned some time ago, I also have a space dedicated to creating but I was suffocating in the amount of stuff in that space not to mention the dust.

I’ve since purged that space and am working to embrace the area as it is. A sacred space. I’m looking forward to your upcoming one month challenge (Simplest Things Challenge). Maybe I won’t be so lost in my new little space after that. 🙂

Thanks for a fantastic post.

This is so beautiful to see Rossana! xo
