Out of My Head - Onto the Canvas

March 07, 2016Mya Bessette

I am an over-thinker…and a bit of a control freak.  When I begin a piece, I have so many visions and intentions that I can sometimes lose the joy and flow of the process.  If I’m not careful, my source of inspiration can become a little too heavy handed and I find myself being too careful, too stiff and ultimately creating something I’m not in love with.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve found myself with a loaded brush, hovering over a blank canvas, unsure where to start, or afraid of being too bold, or not bold enough or too loose or too restrained…you see where this is going.  It never ends well.
