WORK IN PROGRESS
Life can sometimes be a constant "work in progress". I'm currently working on a new piece that I am growing to love. In the beginning I made several changes to no avail. After the second or third change I finally got into a groove and zone, so far the portrait is about 50% complete. I am incorporating pastels in the piece as well as thinking of using wallpaper which is all new to me. Working with familiar materials in a new way helps to release creativity. Painting, a job and even a relationship at some point will be a work in progress, meaning there is a learning process that has to take place in order for you to grow. I never want to become complacent in my work, progression is a good thing. Time to step out of my comfort zone and take a risk!

I agree that most things in life are work in progress and at the same time because it is work in progress people take advantage of the good things that are given to them in life or they simply forget to be thankful. Good thing go to waste a lot of times because most people become too comfortable with what they have, when instead they should do the opposite and strive for making them better. People should seek for the opportunities that sometimes stare us right in the face or that are just around the corner. If one loves what they do or what they have they will cherish it and make it grow into something valuable.
