I so badly want to get back into my classrooms.
I feel like I've been a bit paralysed for the past while and I think I'm beginning to understand why. I know my previous space wasn't right for me and it did prevent me from working in there. And of course, there is the proverbial "busyness". But I do believe the other reason has been having unfinished work.
I thought I would put all my unfinished pieces on my easel and start working through them. I thought I had about 3 unfinished pieces, which I figured was pretty manageable. Well actually, I had 6. Not only did I have 6 but I had 6 really big pieces unfinished, 2 or 3 a little bit bigger than big.... the weight of that has been heavy on my shoulders and I think it's been blocking me from moving forward.
I started this piece 7 months ago - when we were learning about textured backgrounds on FullCirlceWorkshop... I started with great gusto, then Italy came and went, I did some work on it when I got back from Italy but finishing it was rather overwhelming because of the size... It's the furthest I've got with this piece. I am not sure if we are completely done with each other yet - but I am quite liking where we are so far.

For now, she's up #InMyStudio for me to contemplate and study for the next while.
