Let’s stay connected on Instagram!

I've been spending soooo much time with the PURE J

How many times have you begun your journey (with art, relationships, friendships, jobs, etc)?
And then began, again?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It feels like I'm continually beginning a new phase of my journey with art, and really with life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After I complete the launch of my current collection PURE JOY, I plan to go back to my quest to create one collage a day. The last time I did this it resulted in the 33 pieces I'm now preparing to release on April 27, so I know its a practice that works well for me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So once AGAIN, I'll soon be beginning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even though I've already done this before, it still feels a bit intimidating, almost like I don't know how to collage. Which of course is nonsense, but beginning always makes me feel both nervous and excited.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm curious if YOU ever go through this cycle of continually beginning again. Please share in the comments because I'd love to know others experience around this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It just so happens that THIS collage painting is titled "Begin, again"! Go figure. It will be released along with 32 other artworks on April 27 at 11am est.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oh goodness, that's only 9 days away, and so much more to do. Next up? Permanently attach the mica pieces to each artwork, and create 33 sales web pages.
SO MUCH TO DO, and ALL FUN!

For what seems like the millionth time, I've realized that its not WHAT I do for my art biz, but HOW I do it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's not like the what doesn't matter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yet if I can be completely present for each task, no matter how big or small, then I find myself in the flow of the Universe, and EVERYTHING happens with so much ease, grace, and even speed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The key is remembering to do this moment to moment. Which brings me back to my Remindfullness app, which rings/gongs/chirps/giggles (always a different sound) every 25 minutes to remind me to take a breath, relax my shoulders and see what is true in THIS moment. Such a simple ritual, and incredibly powerful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So today I'm completely focused on BEING with each blessed task as I move through my PURE JOY launch to-do list. I'm almost done mounting the 33 artworks on cradled boards (yesterday's Story and Reel), and will begin adhering the mica chips on each later this afternoon.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And through it all I'm focused on being at one with the action I'm taking. The HOW is EVERYTHING.

This new collage painting, "Brave", is one of 33 in the PURE JOY collection that will be released on April 27 at 11am est for newsletter subscribers, 3 hours later for the rest of the world. For early entry to the collection, I'd be honored if you signed up for my newsletter @catrains.artist.
