Wish Upon A Star

Journal Lesson

Sitting with your art can be a spiritual practice, bringing peace and wonder. Let's manifest wishes through painting.

For me, sitting with my art is a deep and spiritual practice, that gives me solace, peace and a universe of wonder, that I dive into. In this painting my focus is on dreaming to life our reality, and so the theme of the course, wishing upon a star, goes very deep. I invite you, gently as you work with this painting, to contemplate and open up to what you really wish for, on a deeper level. Let it whisper gently to you as you create, and feel the power of manifesting through the making of art.
