Work In Progress: The Heartbreak will be Televised V2.4

 

I’ve begun adding color to the bark of the tree in my current piece. I find myself second guessing the choices. Do they fit? Do they hold the right weight? I may need to revisit them.

For me, this is an ongoing reminder that to change your mind is not always a step backwards. Sometimes new information comes to light. Sometimes circumstances shift. What felt right yesterday might no longer serve today.

And yet, that isn’t failure. It is resilience. The ability to keep moving forward even as you adapt, to remain in motion without being paralyzed by the need for perfection.

Art mirrors life in this way. We make choices, we refine them, we rebuild if we must. Progress is rarely a straight line. But the willingness to adjust, to allow change and still keep marching forward—that is its own kind of strength.

That’s what I’m practicing here. In the colors of the bark, in the small steps of this work, and in the larger story of my process as an artist.

Thanks for reading, and for following along as this piece unfolds. If you’d like to see more, check out my store, leave a comment, or share this post with someone who might need the reminder too.
