I learned something struggling with this. I learned that although I do enjoy playing with paint, actually trying to capture even a vague image of some sort pulls me right out of my joy. And yet, without at least a vague image, my attempts at abstract come out looking like lovely wrapping paper.
I'm not sure now how I will proceed with the remainder of the "Finding Your Joy" course. I am committed to doing all of the assignments. I think there are two or three more. But after that I may abandon paint altogether and go back to my fibre arts corner of the world to lick my wounds.
