Hi John!

Early this morning, after my coffee-breakfast-dog-feeding-art-making ritual, it was time to walk our dog.

Living on a college campus is full of surprises, and about half way through the walk I passed a grad student, out walking his dog while wearing a white hotel-style robe and flip-flops. It looked like he just left a spa.

He confidently walked down the road, seemingly unconcerned about what others thought...

...or maybe he embraced the chance to stand out! 🤷‍♀️

In short, he had to take his dog outside and just got out there and did the thing.

Similarly, carving out time for art is less about perfect conditions and more about commitment.

It’s not about having the perfect studio setup or waiting for the ideal moment; it’s about grabbing ahold what you have now and getting started.

Regardless of the gear or timing...you just have to do it.

We need to step into our creative practice, no matter how prepared we feel.

Start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can.

What's the biggest obstacle you face in starting your art routine? Whether it's finding time, lacking inspiration, or not having the right space, I’d love to hear what holds you back.

Getting out there,

Rachelle
