My friend, Shannon sent me a note today and this photo of her art alongside a still shot from the general weekly animal wisdom oracle reading I posted earlier in the week. I was so touched she was willing to share this with others to understand the backstory behind her new beautiful piece of artwork (and how she stretched herself in her art process), plus the power of listening to the wisdom of animals and how it can be just the nudge we needed and what we needed to hear to help us move forward.
Just wanted to share with you a little something.
I have been struggling to try to find who I am as an artist. Trying to push myself a little further. So last weekend, I signed up for an abstract art class. Not thinking I would do it or not.
But after your reading this weekend, I decided to claim my independence in my art journey.
So I started Monday. It was a project that takes patience to let layers dry. Like a cat, you take the moments of rest. Which when I start a painting I feel the need to finish. 
Feeling frustrated the last two days, the painting finally came together for me.
I’m feeling happy with the final project and do feel more independent like the cat.
Thank you once again for pushing me to be better than I think I can. ~
