why i waited 4 months to sell this painting: when i created it, i was struggling with intense artist block after finishing it, i only wanted it in my room. as a reminder that artist block is temporary but as time passed, i realized it wasn't meant for only me i released it as a print and hundreds of people resonated + bought it but i still held onto the original... it held a story inside the canvas 4 months later... im ready for someone else to experience it's story + inspiration 🥺 "The Observer" available now
