The creative process can very much be a metaphor for traveling the journey of life. There are ups and downs and it's not so much about the destination as it is about how we choose to get there. When I'm working through challenges, it's harder for me to create and yet, when I push myself to do the thing I find hard, I notice myself feeling better and better as I go along. This week's process was a challenge both personally and creatively and I'm happy I was able to work through it.

Here’s a list of the materials I used for this painting:(***I now have the ability to monetize my site. This means I can include links to the products I use and when you make a purchase using these links, I will get a small commission. You won't pay extra for doing this and you will help me earn a little bit of money along the way, so I can continue doing this work. Please note that I will only ever add links to products that I actually like and use. Thanks in advance!***)
