Before even starting,<br> I'd already be thinking,<br> 'What if it isn't good enough? What if I can't do it?'... blah blah blah\n\nIn a previous post,<br> I mentioned starting an art journal which is intended to be used as a personal art journal; it's not meant to be shown to others,<br> rather it's a place to practice new techniques and see how your ideas 'work on paper' lol\n\nAnother aspect of the art journal,<br> is that whenever you are not happy with an outcome,<br> you can just cover it with more paint and create a new layer. This was a completely new concept to me but one that has allowed so much freedom since I'm usually someone that worries about wasting expensive supplies.\n\nOver the past couple of weeks,<br> I've been working in an old sketchbook that I had no fear of ruining because,<br> in my eyes,<br> it was already ruined but I was able to see this technique in action by successfully covering over some of those already ruined pages... and some of my creative-fear dissipated\n\n---\n\n### Yesterday was a major turning point.\n\nMy first idea came when outside with the dogs and I was looking at trees and branches,<br> wondering if I could paint them but then good-ol' fear knocked on my brain with it's prompt reply... 'haha,<br> as if..!' \n\nNow,<br> before that thought could take hold,<br> my eyes glanced upon my art journal and I thought,<br> 'meh,<br> who cares if I mess up? I'll just paint over it'. And so,<br> I painted one...\n\nThrowing caution to the wind,<br> I decided to try painting the lemon slice which is part of another project I've been avoiding but after finishing both projects and being satisfied with BOTH outcomes,<br> it dawned on me... \n\n---\n\n![Imgur (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/aOUEQnF.jpg)\n\n<sub>*When life gives ya lemons...!*<\/sub>\n\n---\n\n> ###### *I've been so worried about not being able to do something that it stopped me from trying to do it but now that it's done,<br> I've realised I was worrying about something that I needn't have worried about in the first place.*\n\n<br>\n\nSo what do I take away from this valuable life lesson..? That it takes very little effort to make a change to your way of thinking or to view a situation from another('s) perspective but when you experience (or learn) the profound impact this can have on your *own* thoughts and actions,<br> effectively shaping *your own* reality... it truly is a blessing.\n\n<center>\n\n![Line (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png)\n\nThanks for stopping by and reading my post,<br> I really do appreciate your time.\n\n### And remember to keep smiling,<br> it makes people wonder what you're thinking...!\n\n<br>\n\n![Kindest Regards (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VBf96Pj.png)\n\nIf you enjoyed reading my post,<br> please follow,<br> comment and upvote.\nAll photos,<br> stories and graphics are my own work unless otherwise noted.\n\n<br>\n\n![Imgur (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/nPCnREd.png)\n\n![Line (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png)\n\n[![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/80x90\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/st-nicholas2018.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/80x90\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/level.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/80x90\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/postallweek.png?update) (http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/board.html?user=alphaccino.art)\n\n<sub>Make your own steemitboard footer with [this post (https:\/\/steemit.com\/steemitboard\/@arcange\/steemitboard-how-to-create-an-awesome-footer-with-your-awards) by @arcange<\/sub>\n\n[![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/50x600\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/posts.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/60x70\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/comments.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/70x80\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/votes.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/70x80\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/payout.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/60x70\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/commented.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/50x60\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/voted.png?update) (http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/board.html?user=alphaccino.art)\n\n![Line (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png)\n\nProudly representing\n\n![Imgur (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/WGuBGxi.png)\n\n![Line (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png)\n\nProud supporter of @steeming-hot\n\n[![steeming-hot-bot_small.png (https:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmdCimXD2sHmZFpicaiPQvLwHc8T9mbn1PmU5f9QgbsT4M\/steeming-hot-bot_small.png) (steemit.com\/@steeming-hot)\n\n<\/center>",<br>"json_metadata":" \"app\":\"pruner\",<br>\"message\":\"See you on the other side!\" " |
