My sketch of this Georgia O’Keefe poppies painting sat on my desks for more than a month. I was intimidated. I didn’t know where to begin. I was afraid of failing. You see, I tried lilacs and failed. My lilac painting looked slightly better than fifth grade art. But I started painting the poppies. I tackled it in four days. I am pleased with the outcome. And, I learned something. Just do it. Tackle, fail, succeed. What matters most is that I am alive and capable and happy. There will be some lilacs in my life, but the poppies will be ever so sweet. And lilacs aren’t that bad. 😉
