Pieces coming together…

It is always so special for me to see my works coming together as I start walking towards my auction / sale date. Completing works is sacred ground for me because for many years I had a tendency to start new projects before completing old ones. It became a bit of a habit, a bad one and I have to work very hard with myself to complete tasks. I think this is a very “normal” thing for many artists and Julia Cameron has a section about it in her book, The Artists Way. So I do understand the psychology behind it but it doesn’t make it any less challenging for me to do the work to show up and finish strong. Please let me know if this is also something you struggle with.

I love seeing my completed works along side each other as it encourages me to keep finishing these canvases before I whip out new ones. I do love seeing the story of each body of works unfold together.

I love how these turned out in their frames. Hoping to have three more ready this week for the framers.

This coming week I’ll be finishing a few more paintings for the show but my main focus will be finishing a selection of my clay works. They are being exceptionally patient with me as I find my way to finish their stories.

I’ll be sharing here a little more frequently as I head towards the Quirk show and beyond. I have a few exciting things coming up in my studio and can’t wait to share more with you.

Much love always, from my heart to yours… Jeanne-Marie
