Wish Jar

I have to tell you how much I am enjoying this e-course I am doing with the wonderful artist Stephanie Levy! So many inspiration, helpful activities and tools to realize your creative dreams! HIGHLY recommend it to anybody who has creative dreams and thinks of setting up a creative business. For me there is a long way to go to make these dreams true, but every step counts, right?

One of the activities is to do your personal Wish Jar, an idea inspired by the incredibe Keri Smith. It really feels good to get clarity and write your heart´s desires down. Then you can keep them in this sacred place where you can always reread them, edit, add new desires... which helps to get focussed and vizualize the things you wish to manifest in your life.

Longing for the groove to paint

I wanted to share another painting over here. Together with this painting,  these are the first paintings of what I wanted to turn out into a series. But, then stressy issues in my life happened - finding an apartment, moving- and stopped me from continue working on this series. Since then I have been trying to get back into the groove, but it doesn´t work out. Maybe I should just let it be and start something new...a new kind of series.
I have to confess, that I have a big problem with indetermination. It goes through all parts of my life. Also in my art: do I want to paint big or small size? Figurative or abstract? What mediums do I choose? What inspires me? At the end I get so confused that I find myself unable to do anything and have to quit until the next time. I want to find a way to handle this and to find a way to get into the groove and to paint with more patience. I can´t wait this to happen!

Quería enseñaros también este cuadro. Junto con ese cuadro, son las primeras pinturas de una serie que quería hacer. Pero luego ocurrieron asuntos en mi vida que me estresaban -buscando piso y mudanza- y dejé de trabajar en la serie. Desde entonces estoy intentando de nuevo de recuperar ilusión y ganas para seguir con la serie pero las cosas no fluyen. Quizás debería dejarlo y empezar algo nuevo - una servie nueva.
Tengo que confesar que tengo un grave problema de indecisión. Afecta todas las partes de mi vida. También mi arte: ¿quiero pintar en tamaño pequeño o grande? ¿Figurativo o abstracto? ¿Qué medio escoger? ¿Qué me inspira? Acabo tan confusa que me encuentro incapaz para hacer nada y lo tengo que dejar para la próxima vez. Quiero encontrar una solución como afrontar esa irresolución y encontrarme con ganas y energía para pintar con más perseverancia. ¡Ojalá llegue pronto!
