The Start of Something Beautiful!

Hey all! Today's post is about my new-found love for painting! I guess it isn't that new.. It's more of the fact that painting is a process, and I haven't had free time in what's felt like ages. I took a painting class this year and really enjoyed it. The teacher was a bit critical of my abilities and constantly discouraged me, but my overall outlook on painting remains positive. It's a great way to release energy, calm down, and be creative!

Since it's summer, I wanted to push myself to grow as a painter. So, about two weeks ago, I went to Michael's to pick up some basic acrylic paints and brushes. I've dabbled around and can truthfully describe my paintings as mediocre (which is completely okay with me). I plan on continuing painting, so that some day (in the far, far future) I can sell some of my work. Thinking that someone would have a piece of my art in their homes gives me the chills. Let's cross our fingers and hope it works out for the best!

 I'll share pictures of my creations once I feel they're worthy enough. Yesterday, I posted a fun painting of lips on Instagram. Here's a link- http://instagram.com/p/pcF3bHLQ-8/. Make sure to follow me @teresaholly to see more! I hope you all find your creative outlet somehow. I know I've found mine. Here's to the start of something beautiful.

With warm regards,
Teresa
