Everything is connected

It’s been over a week now since I deleted my posts on social media and decided to delete the apps from my phone altogether and I’m not going to lie, it hasn’t been easy. However I wanted to get rid of the distraction and the ever nagging feeling that I must post, share, post, create, post in this never-ending cycle of content creation, which is not at all where I wanted my creative energy to go. So here I am on my blog sharing a little of my work without the pressure for likes or approval of any kind. 

This is a photo of a piece I’ve been working on lately under the working title Everything is Connected, it won’t be available as an art print for quite a few months but I just wanted to share a little of the process. I like where it’s going so far although I feel a little unsettled in saying it. I always seem to get this feeling of panic, if by some miracle I actually like how the painting is going I feel sure that I will mess it up in the next step. So for now it is on hold while I concentrate on a piece of music I’m composing called Catching the light, as I wait for the courage to take up the brush again.

Anyway that’s all I had to share, maybe this will become and art print one day or maybe it will just end up being something I paint over and try again some time. I guess that’s why art is a living thing, it’s always changing or at least it should be.
