Painting The Feminine :: Commitment

I have this quote hanging in my kitchen…unfortunately I can’t remember who it’s by…

The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your commitment.

That’s exactly what I was exploring in this journal spread of my Painting The Feminine series.

Commitment.

I didn’t feel like painting.  And as I did–the painting reflected that.  It went through numerous stages and disasters–until I finally felt a bit settled with this.

Committed.

There’s a certain power that comes solely from staying committed.  To an idea.  A relationship.  A process. A value.  A decision.

I think, there’s something divinely feminine about entering into a commitment as well.

That’s why I kept with this painting.  It was the actual honoring of my commitment that was the Feminine of what I was painting.
