Power Painting on Small Box Canvas

Power Painting...I am so drawn to this form of expression right now. Maybe it's because it's so contained - I know that it's not difficult to complete a small box canvas. Perhaps it's because I love box canvas - they can be hung immediately on your wall, with a simple nail or two, no frame required. Well, these are good reasons for sure, because they make this kind of art less daunting and harder to find reasons to procrastinate over.

Mostly though, the reason is the awesome time it gives me to meditate on important things in my life. My dreams, my values, and the special gifts I've been given to share and enjoy. It's easy to find those inner voices to criticise the approach, my reasons for loving this and even the art we produce as a result. But for once, creating something straight forward, simple yet meaningful, uplifting and do-able...well, it's something I'm finally giving myself permission to do.

So, if you've been putting off affirming yourself, loving who you are, and being really inwardly proud of that, perhaps this is the time for you to enjoy this too. You know how to reach me... MischalaJ xx
