Embrace the Mystery


"Surrender your agenda, follow your curiosity 
and remain open to 
all possibilities in all moments."
Flora Bowley

Letting go of the rules and particularly my need for each painting (and my life) to work out perfectly has been/is one of my biggest struggles. Letting go and simply allowing my art (and my life) to flow, trusting that at the end of the painting (day) everything will work out ok... well lets just say I'm learning :) I'm learning to embrace the mystery and enjoy my artistic (life) journey. Who knows where it will lead.

Todays prompt is quite simple.... 
1. Take a deep breath and let go of any need to know the outcome.
2. Paint for 2 minutes
3. Take a look at your painting, notice your fave parts
4. Paint for a further 2 minutes covering up your least fave half
6. Repeat 4 times

Here's mine...

After 2mins

After 6mins

After 10mins

After 4mins

After 8mins

After 12mins

How about that! Maybe I can let go, trust, embrace the mystery and maybe everything will work out just beautifully in the end.

Have to say.... that was the most fun I've ever had in 12 minutes... well almost ;)

Thank you Flora for showing me that I can let go... and that even great big chaotic messes can work out beautifully in the end.

Off to work now... have a beautifully messy day.
