Highly relating to your words and experience with the listening, letting the brush, colors, paper, guide us :) and not wanting to get anywhere but the process itself, no fixing, no rushing, just being with what is.
The power of the pause; the ability to respond rather than react to what unfolds before us; to converse rather than seek to control. Both in art and life - as you have captured so beautifully here. Thank you for these insights Ela <3
Yes! Both in art and life - the more clarity I have around my creative process - the more clarity I have in life. All areas of our lives are so connected!
Pausing is presence. I love this so much. How we can be afraid of our own intuitive moves in our own art, right? Often one 'wrong' line or layer reveals another story that wants to come through.
this is beautiful! learning to pause feels like learning a new kind of trust sometimes, thank you for sharing this <3!
It is a way to trust, absolutely! Thank you so much for reading, it means a lot ♥️
Taking a moment of pause to be present, you’re so right! I loved reading this post! "Mistakes in art? You mean extra texture" 😂 exactly
Thank you so much! Shifting my perspective around what is a mistake has made a huge impact! embracing the messiness! ☺️

So pleased to hear it resonates! Embracing the process as the key itself was such an important shift for me! 🥰
This is so true.
I've written stories where I haven't known quite where they're going and one of the characters steps forward and shows me the way...
This is beautiful! Once we let things unfold, suddenly we see ways forward!

Right? I can’t believe I was resisting so long something that feels so natural. ♥️
