Fear in the Backseat

Oct 16, 2022

Today I'd like to share one of my favorite videos with Elizabeth Gilbert. She talks about going on a journey where fear is invited.

"The dream is that we will somehow create a life without fear. And that's just nonsense."

ELIZABETH GILBERT

Like it or not, fear is a part of the creative process. In other words, it's normal for creative people to feel frightened.

  • What if I mess up?
  • What if I'm not good enough?
  • What if this is a total waste of time and money?
  • What if I'm too old?
  • What if no one likes it? What if they don't like me?
  • What if they do like it, and I won't be able to paint another one as good?

Instead of letting fear take control of your creative time, follow Elizabeth's advice and put fear in the backseat of the minivan.

Have a great journey this week!

Watercolor Notes:Resistance with a capital R A recent plein air painting Hi Reader, Here’s a very random analogy for you, so stick with me…growing up on a ranch, there were always a couple of cow magnets in my dad’s animal-medical kit. I played with them as a kid and no matter how you tried to push the opposing sides together, they just wouldn’t go. There was this invisible force field of resistance between them, and I could feel the push against my hands. (In case you’re wondering, cow…

The Game of Painting

Watercolor Notes Hi Reader, I hope your May has been a creative one so far. I took Ellie to the beach yesterday and she dug a big hole. What she really loves is rescuing a small stick from the depths of the sand. If I find a stick and push it down into the hole she’s already dug, the game really begins. It’s serious work and play at the same time. She has to problem-solve and that’s what she loves most. This is similar to the reason why I enjoy watercolor painting so much. Painting is one…
