This painting concludes the 100 Paintings Project! It is an expression of my gratitude for all I’ve learned during this project.
Here I’ve got my classic white spiral on a stable field of amethyst. The glowing sky above symbolizes excitement and possibility.

I used to think learning happened with clear, forward progression.
Reality is far more nuanced. Progression may/may not be visible. There is a plateau of messing around at the same level before learning enough to inch ahead. Most importantly, you are never done.

Sometimes things are objectively bad/heartbreaking/shitty.
And maybe, in the midst of that steaming pile of nope, you find waves of joy.
Maybe you feel a little guilty about that.
Me too.
This is ok. More than ok, it’s entirely human.
It’s our resilience.

I’ve made several paintings about having too many ideas/thoughts/interests swirling around my mind. In this most recent experience, the multitude is bright, colourful, and interesting.

A thing I struggle with is conflicting desires.
I want to do A and I want to do B.
While I’m doing A, I’m thinking about B.
And while I’m doing B, I’m thinking about A.
It sucks.

A person I care for is working with a difficult situation. In their struggle, I see deep compassion for the other people involved. It’s beautiful to witness.

Something about these delicate pinks and purples makes me want to reach out, grab an armful of cloud, and snuggle with them.
“Snuggly Clouds” is available for purchase: $38 CAD + shipping
What are you finding snuggly these days?
#100paintings
I’ve taught myself a lesson: when looking at clouds, use my eyes + phone to see what’s there.
This loop of cloud was not clear to my eyes when I looked up. But when I looked through my phone, there it was!
