I don't know where my immense fear of painting came from. That voice in my head just kept telling me I can't do it because I'm just not good enough. It became so loud over the years that I've never wanted to try for fear of failure. I joined an art group recently with a lovely Korean lady leading it at a local church & due to her encouragement I finally got myself some paint. This is my first ever watercolour painting since primary school on plain A4 paper (because I was afraid to do it in my Bible or journal) that I did at art group today. "See you can!" was her first response hence I added "I can!" at the bottom. I may just frame this for my studio as a future reminder that if ever I find myself doubting my abilities again.
