Now I realize, there is no arriving.
Just creating.

Your art won’t get better if you only make it when you feel like it. Sometimes, you have to push through the rough times and keep creating. No shortcuts, no way around it.

Get outside every day to level up your creativity.

After painting outside so many times this past year, I finally became comfortable painting around people. This actually helped my paintings a bit because then I could almost paint anywhere. And it gave me more opportunities to add people and figures into my landscapes to give scale and depth.

Make art that aligns with your values, not what's trending.
The art you make is a reflection of the life you live.

Last year I made over 300 paintings. Most were average. Some were great.
But the real win was showing up consistently no matter what.

Waiting for inspiration is the fastest way to stop creating.
Create inspiration through your process.

Seeing a couple rocks but also seeing more than just rocks. I think that’s what it means to be an artist.
