From the time I was a small child I have liked to draw.   And it was very spontaneous and I didn't worry about what the drawing might look like when I was finished.  I enjoyed the making of the drawing- the different colors of the crayons, the feel of the paper and especially the way the crayons looked on the paper.

As I got older, I worried more about how my drawings would look when I finished.  And so I would often look at a blank piece of white paper and be afraid to begin to draw on it.   But then one day an art teacher, noticing that I wasn't putting any marks down on my paper said to me "it's only paper".    And you should know that if the drawing doesn't turn out the way you want you can always start again.

So now, I am not so afraid of the white paper and I worry less about how my drawing will look when it is finished.   I enjoy more just doing the art and know that "it is only paper" and I can try over and over again.

And I can begin again...
