Sometimes making stuff can be scary and hard and yet so rewarding.<\/p>\n<div class=\"photopost\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mindfulone\/29949026995\/in\/album-72157673602326550\/\" title=\"moonstones \/ 12&quot; x 24&quot; acrylic on canvas\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c4.staticflickr.com\/9\/8278\/29949026995_60cf5098c0.jpg\" width=\"249\" height=\"500\" alt=\"moonstones \/ 12&quot; x 24&quot; acrylic on canvas\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p><center> &#8220;Moonstones&#8221; \/ 12&#8243; x 24&#8243; canvas with acrylic<\/center><\/p>\n<div class=\"photopost\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mindfulone\/29948333771\/in\/album-384887\/\" title=\"&quot;autumn&quot; \/ 8 x 10&quot; canvas board with acrylic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c4.staticflickr.com\/9\/8750\/29948333771_2d0b362d20.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" alt=\"&quot;autumn&quot; \/ 8 x 10&quot; canvas board with acrylic\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p><center>&#8220;Autumn&#8221; \/ 8&#8243; x 10&#8243; canvas board with acrylic<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a year ago I began some paintings and put them aside.
