Number 8 is the most powerful one, imo. I know people who think about creating every day, but they don’t turn their the thoughts into action. Something is in the way, blocking them. Perhaps it’s fear. Being afraid that what they will create won’t come out how it looks in their thoughts, maybe? I’m not sure.

I’m quite the opposite. I act long before I’ve had time to think about it. That way, there’s no image in my mind that I have to live up to, and I’m free to do whatever I want in the moment. I honestly have no idea what I’m going to do when I walk into my studio. I guess there are basics, like first I decide whether I want to use oils or acrylics, and pick a color that’s in front of me. I choose a palette knife, but from there, I never know what will happen. It’s a split second decision, and boom..I’m off and running with it. I don’t give myself time to change my mind.
