Intentional emotion made by marks on paper reveal themselves. Actions, feelings, behaviours, inert thoughts, and unintentional actions all come to the page or canvas.
I honour the first marks, a first try. I do not ever see it as a mistake or error. I believe all mark making by humans is honest and true. Whether we like the image or not.
In being patient and kind with ourselves gentleness and truth have a chance to show up.
It will surprise us. We will learn a new something about ourselves. The making of art teaches us of Eternal Goodness and the Infinite uncreated characteristics of God.
