Painter, you sound like you are making a lot of progress when I read your posts. I love seeing that you got some time in your studio space and did some painting! That's wonderful. Plus, you're meeting people, getting out and doing things, and shedding your fears! You are absolutely right. The worst has already happened, and you're still standing and moving forward. You have discovered that you are strong.
