A Little Out Of Step

One of the ways in which I always feel a little out of step with my artist friends is when I hear them talk about the intimidation or fear they feel for a blank page or a blank canvas.

I have never felt this way. To me a blank page / canvas is the most exciting thing.

To me a blank white page or canvas says “Hello artist, are you ready to make magic with me?”

Instead the most intimidating thing to me is that moment when I realize I love what I have so far, but I know it needs something more. And I fear that is the moment when I will ruin it. This usually occurs between almost done and done.
