something I am grateful for today

summoning the courage to take my first step toward painting

I haven't made a serious attempt to paint since high school. Back then I convinced myself that this is simply something I can't do. This year I feel ready to try again. For months I have been reading, studying, buying materials... today I actually did something.

This is only a first step, an underpainting for my test drive -- remains to be seen if I end up with anything usable, but I am already learning about how acrylics handle, and feel -- and have already learned that the process is a sensory pleasure on its own, so I look forward to continuing.
