Staying in the Present

October 10, 2015 by Laureen

Blog-IMG_5099-webPainting progression, October 10, 2015

Usually I’m all about product. Even though I know that process is how you get product, product is what I want.

But my production’s been slow lately. And I wonder if my focus has been too much on outcome. Maybe I should pay more attention to the journey than its possible end.

With this series on the development of a painting I’m trying to remain in the ever-changing present, rather than reach into an impossibly settled future.

How do you pay attention to where you are?
