Painting in Progress 1

Painting in Progress 1
Originally uploaded by marchenstudios

I have a fear of painting.

I love it, but at the same time my repitoire is very limited. Once I get past a simplistic landscape or a beautiful blending of colors, I’m just not very good.

I have really great ideas though. In my minds eye I see the painting before it is ever created, my problem is getting my hands and my visions to match up. So most of the time I just say forget it and give up.

Well, I decided not to give up this time. I am going to try really hard to make this painting the vision I hope it to be. I am going to give myself the freedom to leave it and come back, to not rush, to not have deadlines. It may take me ten years, but I’m going to do it. I will face my fears. So this is phase one.

What are you scared of? I dare you (yes, all three of my readers) to try it.
