For the last six months, I keep hearing myself say, 'I want to paint!'
I don't even really know where to start — where to put the thing (the paintbrush?) on the paper, you know? And how much water? And what kind of paper?
Then, just last week, friend of this page (and friend of the arts) Tracy Verdugo sent me her book, all the way from Australia — which is a beautiful and inspiring tutorial in painting for people who cannot paint. (The book even tells you what kind of paper, and what kind of paint, and all that stuff.)
Do I not have eyes? Do I not have hands? Can a two-year old child paint? Therefore... can I paint? OF COURSE I CAN PAINT.
Especially if I let go of the outcome, and don't insist that it be masterful.
