Week 2: The 365 Series

by Jill Austen on 01/29/15

Week 2 of The 365 Series… I made it. Here are my reflections, now that I have 14/365 pieces up on my wall (for those who see their purchased images in the photo, they're on their way to you shortly).

1) Commitment is not something you say, it's something you do. 
2) It is not for the faint of heart
3) Some days a 16" square sheet of blank watercolor paper looks the size of a billboard, and you will feel like abandoning your commitment
4) That's when it's most important to keep it
5) There is profound joy in this process
