I am often asked how long it takes me to finish a painting or how do I know when it is finished or….or…or…

The answer is simple and complex at the same time. It is important to remember when creating…to not overthink it. When you start to think about the materials you have or do not have, or the studio you have or do not have, you will postpone creating. Trust your instincts and delve deep inside yourself for you have all the answers, even if it takes you awhile to find them. The more you develop the ability to hear what you are telling yourself the more you will be able to access that creativity. This may sound difficult but taking gentle time for yourself, even five minutes, will be helpful.

We tend to forget our true amazing abilities but if you allow it our creative selves, which is honest, will divulge what is necessary to create.

Trust yourself by giving yourself the luxury of time and use the time to think, listen, and create!
