$320 © Pam Van Londen 2008 Junior Stars of Basketball 1 20x16x1 in acrylic on gallery-edged canvas
Not only am I enjoying watching some great middle-school basketball, but I’m painting the player, too. The looseness with which I can allow myself to work is helping ease the stress of starting a new term of teaching.
I have forgotten that when I’m feeling tired, lazy, and depressed (because I’m tired and lazy), that painting will completely change my mindset and make me smile, have energy, and change my outlook on life. It is a great accomplishment to not only create something but to improve myself in the process.
