Rough Draft

I have a confession to make. I have a fear of painting on a real canvas. I started dabbling with painting two years ago, and since I never really painted before, I felt more comfortable painting on paper. Then I moved onto pieces of cardboard, and recently I started using envelopes. I have blank canvases, but have yet to use them.

I know when I have second thoughts about something I want to do or if I’m doubting myself and my abilities, my first thought is if I can do a rough draft. That way, there is no commitment, no pressure, and it can be modified or not executed at all. Those thoughts often play in my head like a tennis match.

If you happen to receive a paper, piece of cardboard, or envelope with some random painting on it, well, you will know why.
