Like Wine

There really is a time for everything. If I think of all the things I´ve been through the last couple of years; I´ve played, took risks, I struggeled, fought monsters (both real and imaginative ones) I flourished, I was frustrated, I was happy, I dreamed, I created and I cried. I am starting to see that it was and is all part of my unique journey. Al those times together helped me mature my vision on life like a good wine.

You are now leaving your comfortzone

(Acrylic paint, ink & crochet on canvas 20 x 30)

..is the long title of this small painting. This painting experience was the opposite of the day before. Sunday I had a clear image in my mind, a memory I wanted to capture and I knew more or less how I wanted it to look beforehand. Yesterday evening was more like a battle and I remembered why I hate.love. painting.

Captured in paint

Some memories can only be captured in paint.
