🐻 Something Noticed...
The thing that I had been waiting to happen for the last five years finally happened, and boy, am I glad I can check that first meeting off my list.
This week, I was out for a walk in the mountains by myself, and I turned the corner and saw a beautiful black bear about 200 feet away. We stood there for a few seconds just noticing each other, and I remembered what I’d heard: that I must get real big and not look afraid. So I raised my arms in the air and got real big.
The beautiful bear might have yawned and then walked off leisurely into the woods..
The anticipation can be bigger than the experience. Starting a painting, trying a new subject, or making a change can loom large in our minds. Once we’re actually in the moment, we have something real to respond to.

💚 Something Loved
My beloved elements of art!
I'm very excited I will be starting a new class of Essential Elements 2026 this Monday, September 28th.
Essential Elements is a 7-week guided course for hobby painters who want to know what to look for, what decisions to make, and what to do next while painting.
