letting go of the struggle

“Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads." - Erica Jong
I have been painting painting painting these past many days (weeks??) but I am right in the middle of a transition in my work...do you know what I mean? It's that place where there are so many many questions...but no answers. It is that place where I am leaving behind what I know but...there is no path and I don't know where I am going...or...where I want to go. It is a place that is fraught with insecurities + fear + the unknown. I have to let go of what I am comfortable with and embrace the mysteries of the process. I know that all sounds so "out there"... but...this is where I am right now. I am going to let go of the struggle and bring my truth, courage and intention to the easel.

This is my inspiration right here. Whenever I feel tired or lacking...I take a deep breath and try to summon my courageous pieces;  tenacity + resilience as well as my vulnerability. Tara...you  fill my dark places with light.
