Sunday 12/20/2015 @ Casa Feliz

Casa Feliz . How do I begin to explain how happy it makes me to be at Casa Feliz?.

This house is where I started on an artistic journey which began in 2008.

I found music. I found music on Sundays.
The music allowed me to discover a previously hidden gift .
A gift given to me by God.
I did not know when faced with those terrifyingly blank pages  that I could
render a drawing that could make me feel these moments .
When I heard the music I could focus. I could sketch it.
I could put it on the page.
This is what this happy house has given to me.
The music made me want to just try .  I told myself do this just for yourself.
If it is not perfect, or even half way decent give it time let yourself learn. 

Consider yourself in kindergarten
Don't be critical to yourself
So now I have been sketching at the house almost every
Sunday since 2008.
In this journey I was not just learning to sketch .
What I really have been learning is how to be brave .
I have learned how to be my authentic self.
This is me. Sarah, the artist. I like it. It makes me happy.
I share my happiness with you.
