Regardless of the end result, do you find the process to be enjoyable?

It took me a full year to set up my art table again. As I am so out of habit the pieces I am thus far producing are garbage to me - even though people who have seen them have said otherwise. But the thing is, I have enjoyed the process these last few weeks. Besides, at least with my art, I can gesso white over the paintings that pain me and start all over again. The hobby is soothing me and I have noticed an increase in my confidence little by little since returning to a creative outlet.

So what I have to say is keep taking stabs at what gives you joy and practise, practise, practise. I think eventually it will put a smile on your face.
