Hello friends,

This week I took a class for artists. One of the exercises was simple: write down the things that make you feel alive.

I wrote twenty. Here are a few of them:

Being out in nature, at the coast and in the forest.

Driving with the top down.

Time with the people I love.

Painting.

Reading the list back, I realized something. None of it is far away. I already have these things, and I do them often. In a quiet way, I am already living my dream life.

And painting is on the list not because it leads somewhere else. It is the thing itself. When I paint, I already feel alive: free to be exactly who I am and who I want to be, and to choose the direction I grow.

FROM THE STUDIO

Otherwise, a quiet week. I am still painting Small Light. I'm working on the medium landscapes, still in progress. Alongside the painting, I am building my new website, one page at a time.

AN INVITATION

What would be on your list? Maybe some of it is already within reach for you, too. If you feel like sharing, the comments below are open.
