Even on the longest, gentlest path with plenty of room for company, the challenge is not in the terrain, the exertion or record time accomplishment, but in choosing to keep walking the path in your ultimate solitude, for no other reason, than the inner compulsion to stay true to the path, waiting to uncover why it called you in the first place.

Woooooohoooo! ONE HUNDRED DAYS OF PAINTINGS. Triple digits baby! That deserves a wee little sparkler, I reckon.
.
It also deserves a beer, a bluegrass jig, some handstands, homemade pesto pasta, a slobbery lick from my goldie and a high five for my infinitely better half, without whom I would not have these kiff, tiny canvas frames to paint on (or a modicum of sanity when I think I’m going to lose my painting marbles).
.
I’m all for finding joy each day in the journey, but I’m also all for celebrating wins in life and today I’m beyond happy to have already made so many fantastic connections through this little project. This sparkler is really for you guys – all 533 of you. You give me umph to pick up my paintbrush when I have no more can. Wish I could give you all a great big hug of love and appreciation. You are awesome!! Thank you for sticking with me this far. 🎨This little painting came about with the help of a beautiful pic by Ian Schneider from @unsplash – a freelance creatives best friend! x

Painting what seems simple can often be much harder because you have to get the simple really right in order for it to be effective. And so it seems I’ve gone from being a content editor to a scenery editor.

Painting is a funny thing. Capturing a big sky with little contrast aint easy. The original pic is far more subtle and romantic. And as it turns out painting what seems simple can often be much harder because you have to get the simple really right in order for it to be effective.
On the flip side when there’s a lot of detail going on, as in other foregrounds, I often cut much out to keep just enough to still communicate the feeling. I’ve gone from being a content editor to a scenery editor 😉
And even in painting these – I realise, the lesson of ‘less is MORE’, is a big lesson to learn on such a little canvas.
.
Ai, life. You make me smile with your ways 😌
.
Time: 6+ hours (I’m almost embarrassed to say. That’s why this challenge is so good for me, to learn to navigate and feel that in the constant flow of creation there cannot be ‘perfection’. There can only be showing up and doing your best.
Painting inspired by photography of @gavman18 (And so completes this little trilogy of the Light Chaser’s beautiful work! 🙏🏼 for the inspiration )
