Swimming in new waters...

Recently I watched a video tutorial about drawing Mermaid Girls.   I have never done much drawing, but have been intrigued with the idea of learning how to draw faces and bodies.  This was my first try! I feel as if I have been swimming in some new waters in several ways lately...drawing new things, launching a new blog site, and exploring my creative side in a Brave Girls Soul Restoration 2 class.  I am normally someone who thrives in a changing environment...and I am excited about these new things.  I really am. At the same time, I have some fear around them.  Because with new things and change always comes an awareness.  And once you are aware of something, you can not become UN-aware.  Awareness means you must heed the little whispers in the back of your mind urging you to seek out change and move in new directions.  And often new directions means you leave something or someone behind. I am not exactly sure what the new direction is that my art is taking me...but I am sure that I am swimming towards it daily and putting my faith in the belief that where-ever I end up - it will be exactly where I am supposed to be!
