Oil pastels and ink on multimedia paper, a piece I did of a beetle photographed in our garden.

“Some days I feel so empty inside that I doubt I have anything worth putting on a page and I’m overwhelmed by my all nothing. Sometimes there are so many ideas I want to render, but I don’t know where to start and the frustration builds. I have so many blank pages and yet not enough of me to fill them up. The void creates anxiety and I choose some distraction instead. I must try to break the cycle. Little by little I will make my joy a priority.

I am worth the effort. These things are worth doing.”
