Don’t Despise Small Beginnings

Don’t Despise Small Beginnings
30×40" mixed media on canvas

This painting honors the earliest stage — before validation, before clarity, before momentum.
The figure is unfinished on purpose. So is the message.

Layered faces, rough marks, exposed underpainting — nothing is hidden. The words function as a reminder, not a command. This is what beginnings look like when they aren’t cleaned up for approval.

A large, statement work about patience, faith, and staying with the work long enough for it to speak back.

One-of-one original.
