Paint because you love to paint.

Take the pressure off your self you do not have to paint a masterpiece every time you pick up the brush.

So many Artists place themselves under so much pressure by doing this, because the story they are telling themselves is not true.

The fear in us wants us to never try and do anything challenging, different or outside the box, it wants us to be safe, quiet and average, so the best way to get you to do that is to tell you that you must make every painting a masterpiece.

If you do that you will put yourself under so much pressure that you will become so discouraged at not being able to produce a masterpiece or the perfect painting, that you will eventually find every time you go to paint you will get painters block or the fear of the white canvas and you will stand and say “ I don’t know what to paint!”

The thief wins.

So never try to paint your masterpiece or the perfect painting, because it will never happen, you will never be satisfied with what you do the thief will see to that, so just paint because you love painting and be thankful in the act of painting.

Make all your paintings over your life time your masterpiece, that’s your contribution to history and take the pressure off your self and just enjoy painting.

Be grateful that you are painting and rejoice in that.

Paint because you love to paint and paint for yourself to give to others.
