Trusting

Thanks for your words regarding my “Work in Progress”. I’m working in a series of 10 x 10 canvases. So far the name of the series is “traveling” but I hope to find a more interesting name. I’ll be showing you the pieces during the next 9 days. Here my lovely Italy and Japan.
After a comment I got in my last post, I think will be fun to create a littl tutorial about "creating mixed media artwork".. what you think?

As usual, I’m trying to balance the crazy amount of stuff I have on my plate. I have to accomplish really important things and in order to do that I have to push myself. Some days I go to sleep with a knot in my stomach thinking in how I’m going to do this by myself, why I’m pushing myself to hard, doubting if I really can accomplish my dreams and goals, and a huge etc of doubts. Last night was one of those nights and like always I woke up today thinking: “Come ooooon Valentina, you can do it! And soon after that I got a good email.. a simple note telling me I have to trust in myself!
So… I had to create this print :)Trust Yourself
