Worse?&#8221; I&#8217;m sure that many artists have a deep emotional connection to their paintings during creation and that what is going on in their lives affects not only subject matter, but color choice as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rebeccazook.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7179318&amp;post=74&amp;subd=rebeccazook&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

When I first started painting again after nearly 7 years of not painting, I was somewhat terrified. Questions plagued me. Can I still do this? What medium should I use? How big? How small?
