Details:

I was “in a mood”. I was grumpy. I picked up the brush and started to blend colors. I was still very new to painting and didn’t have all the experience of those who’d gone to art school or grew up with the craft. I wanted to smooth everything out, my emotions included. With every movement I felt a little calmer, till I stood back and saw two eyes and a face- a happy face- staring back at me. I missed what had also formed along the way, a perfectly content couple, a man and women embraced in each others glow. Now when I look at this piece I can’t see anything else, which also makes me smile. This piece was also alternatively called Roll With It, for the way I had to let go and trust the process. This applies to both the creative process and the emotional process.
