I loved what Lis said in the comments of Part One of this post about surrendering to a painting, and letting go of whatever it is going to turn out to be — happy, sad, ugly, weird, beautiful, etc.
I am really enjoying surrendering to this one :) And here is what is developing so far:
Kristen, it’s really coming along great. I can’t wait to see the finished painting. Fun to watch the process.
stacie » Thanks, Stacie! I haven’t gotten in some good painting time recently, but will definitely do a follow-up post as it progresses!
ooo … i like where this is going! I believe you are Awakening to your inner buddha :)
Yes, process pixs please! I love the richness in your work and I want the secret details!

(and don’t worry about the predictions for this dragon year … I believe there is always an element of negativity in the Chinese predictions to keep the greedy evil spirits away. Like “oh, this will be a bad year” is not tempting Fate by being boost-full or proud … kinda the Joy Luck Club logic? And I realized I am a weak yin earth tiger? I had been told I was water … so I am to hide under the covers for the year I guess!)
