I have a difficult time just letting go and enjoying creating art. I chose "accept" to be my word for the year, because I need to accept my imperfections and just be happy with what I am able to do. No one is perfect. There is no sense in trying to reach the impossible. The funny creature is from Tangie Baxter's Art Journal Caravan 2014 basic kit.

I think that is great, Bill! As artists, we always struggle with the inner critic! What a battle it is sometimes, hmmm? But I used to work for a rather eccentric man who would always say to me, "Betty, always remember: Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." I thought it didn't make a lot of sense until I realized what it really meant! Don't over-think, over-analyze, over-criticize to the point where you aren't able to finish what you are trying to accomplish! And now I realize, he used to tell me that so much because he was trying to practice what he preached!
Wishing you a good evening,
Betty
This is perfect!
I love the little creature too.
Acceptance is one of the hardest things to do, believe me, I know.
I was always a bit of a free spirit, walking, running, jumping, dancing, flowing.....you get the picture.
To have to accept my many limitations is still so hard to bear....xx
It's perfect word. Not easy, but perfect.
