My backyard is doing something magical right now and I cannot stop going outside to look at it. The wisteria is blooming and the ferns are unfurling and the whole thing snuck up on me because this season started off is cold. This is the part of the year that makes me want to slow down and just pay attention. Not everything needs to be rushed or produced or turned into something. Sometimes it is enough to just go outside and soak it all in. I hope wherever you are, something is blooming too.
Save this for a slow morning!
If you are waiting until you feel ready to start something creative, I want to let you know the feeling does not always come first. Sometimes you just start and readiness shows up somewhere in the middle. I started painting later than I thought I was allowed to in life. No formal training, no grand plan. Wonky lines and all. Just a persistent curiosity and a willingness to figure it out as I went. If there is something you keep meaning to try, this is your nudge. The worktable will be there whenever you decide to sit down at it.
Tell me in the comments: what are you figuring out right now?

Some paintings I made during the 100 day project and I moved on. This fern is not one of those. I finished it and kept coming back to look at it, so I decided I wanted it for my home. I took the plunge and committed to painting on a larger canvas. I love how it turned out! I've become a little obsessed with the emerald and aqua combination and I've always love gingko leaves, so I painted a mini one. I may have to paint this one larger too some day.
