Week 52: "Not What You Do, But It's The Journey"

Week 52:
"Not What You Do, But It's The Journey"

So it comes down to this, week 52.  Its an amazing feeling to get to the end and completing this amzaing journey.  This final blog work was a journey, not just for myself but for those who helped me to create this work.  Last night on New Years Eve, I asked my guests of the End of Year/End of Blog Party to each paint something, anything that their own creative minds came up with. Then I went in after and brought their works together.  The one major thing I have begun to understand is just like my guests, its not what you do, but it's the journey that you take.

Throughout this entire year I dug deep into myself to create my life onto canvas; mentally exposing myself as I went through my life.  What I learned is with every canvas, with every brush stroke, is that life is not a destination or a completion, but a journey that changes with each step.  Each step along carries me to another and another.  The biggest leason I have learned during this journey is that it doesn't matter what I paint, or what mistakes I make on the canvas of life.  As long as I take that mistakes and make something beautiful with it I have learned the biggest leason of life.





Final Thoughts for "52 in 52":
This moment finally has come, the end of this path and onto the next.  This blog and journey has changed me and my life forever.  When I decided take on this series I wanted to try to grow as an artist, but in turn it made me grow as a person.  I will be forever changed emotionally in how I live life and look at things.  On the way I found a little more self-love, self-acceptance and self-worth. 

Destinations on the path that we take in life will change with each step, but the most important thing is to sit back and enjoy and grow on the journey. 

Thank you to for everyone's support and to all those who have helpped in making this series a success artistically and personally.  Now time for "A New Journey".
