Episode 36 - Why is it that when we finally embrace the uncertainty of process painting, we feel suddenly more connected to our intuitive creative flow? We usually view uncertainty as a weakness and an obstacle. But when we have the courage to embrace uncertainty by not having a plan, we find it easier to trust the revelation inherent in each moment.
