Open your heart to the Fire

Sometimes it takes a while to move through to a finished piece.

Sometimes it feels like I’m not doing enough.

Sometimes it feels like I’m sitting and resting too much.

But I’ve learned that paintings have their own pace.

Sometimes they take time to find their path.

My journey as an artist is varied. From the outside, it might look like I’m doing nothing. But I’ve come to trust that the canvas knows what it wants.

I’ve learned that my process—slow, intuitive, uncertain—has its own wisdom.

So I breathe. I wait.

And I listen for that quiet, long conversation with the canvas.
