Seven Degrees of Repetition
I recently painted the same prompt: Think of a time you felt valued – daily for seven days.
Rather than becoming bored with the exercise, I was intrigued with uncovering the daily painting.
I used the same palette all week but intentionally selected specific colors or mixed pigment based primarily on my curiosity.
Best takeaway is I’ll continue this color-play, within parameters: same prompt, set a timer for 30 minutes – when the buzzer sounds/paint brush goes down.
The “aha” moments were numerous and enjoyable.

Growth in Art can manifest in two ways. One is horizontal by exploring a variety of techniques and styles, which is enriching in and of itself. But your latest approach is the hardest and most rewarding. By exploring the many variations within a particular focus, you get vertical growth. Congratulations!!
I’m traveling next week to studio in-study for four days with the woman I consider my professional mentor. I can’t wait!
Such a great exercise and I enjoyed seeing how your versions differed through the week. I’m curious to know if you had a favourite?
Yes. I think 1/7 is my favorite. I have a giant sized extra canvas…I think it’s five feet tall and three feet wide. I’m considering painting this on that. That’s when I’ll really have fun!
