Friday the 13th of December

Once upon a time, many many months ago an artist called AniK posted a work-in-progress image of a painting on her blog. She told her dear readers that it would be done in a few weeks. Sadly, that was not meant to be a prophecy. Many other things happened after that, other creative ideas happened and the little painting wept in a corner of AniK’s studio – unloved, unfinished and ignored. The artist thought she had lost interest in the painting but the truth was she was overcome with fear and self-doubt.

Then, one day, unable to bear the pain anymore, the little painting cried out – ‘Paint, my beautiful one, paint. I can only be complete if you paint!’

So the artist vowed to spend at least an hour on it along with the other paintings. Minute by minute, inch by inch she persevered until a month ago, ta-da!

On a separate line, I read an article on LinkedIn which I thought might be helpful. So here’s the link:

To celebrate this day (notice the date?) I am going on a horror movies binge. Until next time, Happy Friday the 13th!
