David's Heart Is A Flower

It's so cute that King Missile's "My Heart Is A Flower" (the song title and happy music only, not the silly, sexual lyrics :) pops into my mind. More importantly, it reminds me that drawing/painting should be fun.
Everyday as I looked at my empty sketchbooks, I struggled on what to draw/paint. I told myself to put down something better than yesterday, and somehow it gave me so much pressure that my mind went blank and I didn't know what to do except staring at it.
I am my own worst critic. The left brain is an expert on paralyzing my right brain. Always.
The only way to break that curse is to enjoy drawing/painting; the more fun I have, the less I care about my own harsh critic. Like a curious 6-year-old, too busy in exploring the world with all different lines and colors to care about what adults think. THAT is the right attitude for everyone to adopt when it comes to creat art, IMHO.
Media: ball point pen.
