This week I took a little break from my previous bigger FEARLESS Painting and decided to move into my FEARLESS Painting journal instead.
I don't know what it is--but once you paint big--it's hard to go smaller.
So that sketch book up there on the easel, well, that's what I consider small now-a-days.
I also put together another FEARLESS Painting Inspiration video for you!! This time I show most of my painting process for the painting above--and I talk about my thoughts and feelings about "dreaming BIG".
My intention is to create at least one video a week.
There, I said it.
So hold me too it, ok?!?!
And last, I was thinking a bit about what I said in last week's video---I was basically claiming that my renewed fire for painting was a result of having limited time in the studio--that it was forcing me to make the most of it--go with the flow--embrace this new rhythmn of motherhood.
After some reflection, I realized that that's only a tiny bit true.
The real fact is not about time---it's about my heart. About how amazing and inspired I feel to have this beautiful Soul in my life. And even more than that--to actually be his Mom.
I feel blessed beyond words and happier than any time in my life.
That's why my passion for painting has been reignited with such a fury!
Absolutely.
So with that said...here's this week's FEARLESS Painting Inspiration.
(Plus don't miss the bonus footage at the end--of Phoenix as "Mr. Cranky Pants"!)

Fearless painting ruined me for a small art journal. My big spiral water media paper "journal" is what I prefer. I just realize that i have been fighting that. I haven't been journaling because I have tried to make it fit into something small. Need to just honor the heart.
And that is in complete contrast to how I feel about life right now. I have been blogging about living smaller, dreaming a little dream. Maybe it is practicing that limit that allows me to paint BIG!
Thank you Connie, as always.
Fearless painting transformed ...continues to transform ... my life.
much love to you and crankypants!
Loving your gorgeous page, so full of verve. Annette x
as i am trying to intentionally sit with my own deepest truths and prepare my heart for IGNITE, i've found myself contemplating on such similar realizations within myself.
and also recognizing deep patterns of how we shoot for what we 'think' we want, only to find it leads us into the same places of mal-alignment that we have faced before... unless we move slowly, intentionally, allowing the space between each move and decision to create something richer, fuller, more expanding for our unique journey.
it is always good to hear that others move thru similar realizations.
thank you for this comfort and wisdom today.
Connie, I think this may be my favorite video of you so far.....the music, the story, your unfolding genius. Your imagery sings to me. The feelings of devotion so deep. Thank you for doing what your heart calls. And I am ready to meet you at the gate. Ignite!
Sweet snuggly moment captured... they grow so fast! I also agree - it is so hard to go small once you've painted big!
