Painting in the Moment

As I work on a painting, I often step back from it. This week when I stepped back, I jotted down my feelings on a piece of paper... Things like "I love painting" "This makes me so happy" "I love doing this" "I like that stroke I just laid down" "I love painting this" These were random thoughts while painting and it helped me to stay in the moment...plus, I dated and and put the name of the painting I was working on so I could go back and look at it and feel good again or I could show it to the buyer......
