The Gift- SOLD

The-Gift

This is a new painting I did today. It is 9″x12″ on rag paper. It is a little bit of a self portrait but more of how I remember myself, rather than how I am right now. I hadn’t painted for awhile and I was trying to ease myself back into. Sometimes when I haven’t been able to get to the drawing board for an extended period of time I worry that I never will again and when I do I will be unable to draw at all. Today it was wonderful the way it all came together. I didn’t have to struggle to get back into it at all. It was a gift. And I have a gift and I know that sounds arrogant but I am acknowledging it so I can thank the Universe for giving it to me. It is no longer possible for me to waste this gift because the burning desire to use it is all consuming and that too is a gift. There was awhile in my life that I wondered why I was given this gift without the passion or inspiration to use it. It seemed so cruel. I didn’t realize that I had to USE my gift in order to find the passion and inspiration.
