Some times I feel so many things that I cant label, or things that conflict, its like a clogged up bottle. #oilpastels and the right music help me process. Not everything you create has to be perfect or even good. Its more for the moment of creating it.

So I'm finally starting to use this GIANT SET of paints my BFF got me for Christmas. Ive been intimidated by it, so i decided to just be ok with having fun instead of being all serious.
