I must admit that there feels like a certain amount of pressure to perform at this point. I guess that is just the natural human reaction whenever you know people are watching you. but it can also be a bit of a weight to carry, so I hope that i can push through that like the ship merging out of the fog in todays painting. I continue to have to remind myself that my painting is not about me, but rather about my spending intimate time with God in prayer. I tend to notice the days when I have trouble keeping focused on that, the paintings don't flow out of me as freely. It's almost like when your in prayer with God and your reciting words, rather than really having a conversation.
