I painted this yesterday and really felt vulnerable sharing it. As I thought it was terrible. And I am a terrible landscape painter.

Heard from lots of people on Facebook.. all encouraging and also a good reminder of why I paint and how I should speak to myself.

So I decided to paint again. This time I am just going to enjoy it. And acknowledge that I still have a lot to learn. But I will not apologize for my work or say I am terrible. Practice practice practice…

While I acknowledge I still have lots to improve, I am proud of myself for not giving up. And for being kind to myself.

Are you kind to yourself?
