Paint your life with expressions of your heart every moment

I’d like to share the before-and-after of my painting which took two years to complete.
This painting taught me so much about self-trust.
 
Initially, I wanted to paint how Gaia (the earth) was created. I resonate so much with the energy of her creation.  We all have the same energy within us, otherwise, we wouldn’t exist here on this earth in the first place. The life you create from your heart's desire is the same frequency as Gaia’s.
 
Furthermore, I wanted to use all colours.  But using all colours was very challenging for me because the more colours we use, the more chances to make it into a mess. Well, at least with my skill 🙂
 
In the beginning, I was painting with joy and excitement.  Then I wanted to add a volcano. That caused an obstacle in the flow.   Painting the volcano became my obsession and tried to make a balance between the colours of other parts and the volcano's.  But the more I adjusted to make it fit in and regain the flow, the more the entire painting became a disaster.
 
In the end, I stared at the volcano for 2 years. The more I stared at it, the more I disliked the entire painting. I ended up putting it away in our hallway with other paintings so that it was not in my face 24/7.
 
But I still really wanted to complete it.  4-5 months ago, I picked up a brush and resumed painting. I removed the volcano.  It finally regained its flow and I completed it.  I felt so good!
 
The beautiful balance cannot be made only by adjusting colours around our obsession. But it can be made when my body (hand) listens to my heart, rather than my mind.
 
A beautiful balance of colours in the entire painting is made by expressing yourself from your heart every moment.  We may not know exactly what the end result will look like. It is rather unknown. But we have the intention of wanting to paint a certain theme.  But how we go about it is we need to experience vast expressions of our heart.  That is how we know who we are, the entire painting!
 
When I think of the big picture to be perfect so much, I become indecisive at every moment about which colours to use due to my obsession with the balance of the entire colours.  Then it stops its flow. Painting itself ends up completely stopping.
 
But if you just use a colour following your heart every moment without obsessive thought and perfection, there will be a perfect balance in the colours in the small parts and the colours in the entire painting.  And this balance is beauty.
 
Our being and life are exactly that!
 
The title of the painting is “Your True Colours”
