Week 3 - Still Life

This week's challenge…. Still Life.  I am not a big fan of still life.  I am not attracted to them when i see them and I have always thought of them as a bit sad, and lonely-looking.  So… what I learned this week, is that they don't have to be.  I am learning that a person can paint whatever they want to… and however they want to.  I think it is best to just paint, and it seems like your style just emerges.  I believe there is no "right" style.  Different styles will appeal to different people.  It is important to like what you do.  

Painting glassware is something I hadn't done before either.  I like how they turned out.  I also started the week by painting 7 panels each a different background colour and working with it.  I ended up with some interesting mixes.  

Now… what shall I do this coming week?  Perhaps a week of sketching since I will be on the road a bit.

hanks for sharing the article, and more importantly, your personal experience minscdfully using our emotions as data about our inner state and knowing when it’s better to de-escalate by taking a time out are great tools. Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to
