What Comfort Zone?



Good Morning, All

This is a little 4 inch x 4 inch canvas I 
painted with acrylic paints from
Claudine Helmuth.

I used traditional tan, sky blue,
sable brown, landscape green.

I did it yesterday for the Craftymess Group
Daily Challenge.

I was so shy about it I posted it in the event and 
ran away, too embarrassed even to go back 
and comment on other people's entries!!
It was still wet when I entered it! lol

Then, in the wee small hours, I thought just do it, 
blog the thing.
And before you know it I did!

Don't worry about commenting  I know it is not good but
it was FUN! and I might just go and do it again
For More Fun!

That is what is the most important thing in my book.

Thank you to the Craftymessers for giving me
the strength, the love, to be less afraid.
You guys are among the best people in 
Facebook Land and Blog Land ever!!
Love you guys.

Vee xx

  3. Ah you are such a lovely lady... Ok so its not quite da Vinci but its you.. I love the colours and the flowers and the fact that you tried something new is awesome.. I have canvas I haven't even took out the packet... The more you do the more confident you'll be.. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said the magic word fun... Art is fun.. And when it's not fun, it's not art... I think your canvas is pretty and Im glad you blogged it, Px

  6. Hi Vee it's brill, honestly sometimes we do stuff we don't like but step away and when you return to it evrything will change. Or we step away cos there's something missing then we go back and mess and it works. My kids are so severe self critics, they have to learn to work on stuff, a couple of people would like to try journalling, which can be very daunting but I am thinking of doing steps by step so maybe you could try that too. Love Lou

  7. Vee your art work is fantastic, as it's been said before we are our own worst critics (me more than most lol). Just do what you love doing and that's being creative, good or bad (in your own opinion) it's come from the heart, YOU created a little piece of yourself and you've taken the courage to share it with the rest of the world.

  8. Oh Vee, I don't think you need to worry. This is gorgeous, I love the colours.
    It's good to know that your crafty friends give you the confidence to try new ideas and I hope you will keep on showing us what you create.

    hugs Sue

  10. Hello me Dear, if we all waited to create master-pieces the blogs would be pretty darn bare LOL. We need to get out of our comfort zone to try new things and to stretch ourselves. How else would we learn to express ourselves and our develope our creativity. Well done on your painting. Looking forward to seeing more.

  19. Well I think is is quite lovely and I have sure seen a lot worse. I think anybody who can pick up a paintbrush an create a recognizable object such as your wonderful 4 x4 is truly talented. You seem to be good at whatever you tackle amazing lady!
