This week I made a painting with my long-time friend, Artist and Art2Life Coach, Noah Woods!

We had a blast playing and collaborating. We each brought our sensibilities to this painting.

Check it out here.

What’s cool is I can feel what parts are true for him and true for me. When you do this kind of experimentation, new things can appear that just feel right for you. When this happens, go with it! Trust yourself!

When something you love is working, trust yourself and do more of it because if it feels true for you, it will also feel true for others — including art buyers!

How do you trust yourself to get to what’s right for you? Let me know in the comments.

Join me live today at 12pm PDT! I’ll be streaming LIVE from Paris and giving you a tour of my private art journals and sketchbooks! I’ll be sharing how I use these to clarify where I am and where I’m going next in my artistic journey. It’s a perfect example of how SPARK can help you find your new direction. Plus, I’ll be answering your questions about SPARK to help you decide if this is the right next step for you. You can join me on YouTube at the time of the call.

On the Art2Life Podcast this week, I discuss self-worth and how it relates to your art-making. We’re diving into why shifting from self-doubt to intrinsic motivation is vital for any artist. Investing in yourself—whether through resources or time—can be the stepping stone to overcoming self-judgment and fostering an abundance mindset. Join me this Wednesday for an all new episode streaming anywhere you find podcasts and our video version will be up on our YouTube Channel.

Have a great Sunday!

Nicholas
