I have always wanted to take a painting class and I finally got the chance a few days ago while I was away visiting my Dad for a quick getaway! Oh boy, I so needed the downtime after spending the past 6 months on renovating my website and getting the new music video for “Getting Out Of My Own Way” ready for it’s official release!

I had such a great painting this picture. I gotta be honest, though, there were a mix of emotions going on inside of me as I painted each stroke, like I was on top of the world yet afraid to take the next step. I remember at the very beginning of the lessson I was worried that I would mess something up. But then, as I kept painting, I realized it’s just like writing a song! Why? Because when I write, usually the best songs that are birthed come from a mix of instinct and error. So I just allowed myself to follow that recipe and what do ya know, my first painting was done!
