I just listened to the following Ted talk and was deeply touched by the conclusion of it. Being vulnerable is scarry but on the other hand it is the reason for being able to fe el love, joy and be creative.    Brené Brown: The power of vulnerability

Sometimes a painting just doesn't work. Colours don't match, shapes are too bold or too small and over painting seems not an option. After lots of time has passed it just doesn't seem right to hold on to it any longer. A good-bye is in order.  The canvas is taken off the wooden frame and discarded. The wooden frame gets a new layer of canvas (I use unbleached cotton) that is stretched and stapled tight on the back.  Gesso is the next step to prepare for a new creative adventure. Old becomes New!

I wish you all a New Year filled with joy, good health and lots of inspiration! Thank you for following my posts and being a part of my creative journey. All the best, Jacqueline

This is a wonderful articel at The Art of Non-Conformity blog. Chris speakes about goals: "1. To wake in the morning full of life and energy, awaiting the day with anticipation and purpose. To step out into the world ready to accomplish a significant task. To engage and initiate instead of merely responding. To take the active choice that you will make something happen . 2. To maintain harmony and goodwill in relationships. To follow Shakespeare’s adage: love all, trust a few, and do wrong to no one.  To focus on contribution and..." . Read more
