Painting is a metaphor for life.

​

I need to show up and work.

​

Painting demands honesty. I need to be honest about what I am seeing and how I feel about it.

​

Painting demands patience. When I know something is not right I have to be willing to put the painting aside for awhile and not try to force a solution.

​

Painting demands humility, acceptance and faith to keep creating without knowing why.
