When I started this painting, I decided to go bigger. And, bolder. After all, that was my new mantra for the year—go bigger and bolder in my artwork! A New Beginning pushed me into unfamiliar territory—larger canvases and transparent paint revealing every choice. Organic curves collide with hard geometry, intuition wrestling structure until they finally dance. This wasn't just technical exploration; it was personal reckoning. I had to let go of control, trust my instincts, and step into creative space that felt both terrifying and electric. The painting became proof: growth lives on the other side of comfort.
