This painting was created in 2005 originally.  Below, you will see a video and two images of the process of adding lighter colors and more detail to the original painting.

Here’s a video that will give you a closer look at the colors and the detail of the paint and highlights.

This was the first layer of lightning up the original darker colors.

The painting size is 13.75 x 16 on wood and acrylic paint and paint pens on the updated version..

This is one from the archives that I was inspired repaint.

Life without any validation @paulcarterart

Lifee without any validation.

Imagine being completely present and free from all validation.

It’s October 30, 2025 this is a spontaneous captains log at one of my favorite places. I am sharing this after a break on a new sketch that was started on 10– 14 –2025.

It is not the sketch you see below.  I date all my art pieces from paintings to sketches and surfboard’s. 

Imagine, living a life without any comparing or any approval from others.

There is so much conditioning that we all carry from our ancestors from our parents from our families and friends.

So ask yourself, is it ego or confidence that you live your life from?  Ego is the constant need for approval and validation from others.   

Confidence is the freedom that comes through the awareness of breaking the chains of the many layers of conditioning.  Knowing one self is a daily journey.

The sketch below will resonate for some and for others your perception will be either positive or negative.  

Ask yourself by staying present what feelings am I having?

Its all conditioning or insecurity that brings up the negativity.  Check your perception and you will see.

Thanks for following the journey. 

Have a great day and remember no validation required. Keep the creative fire stoked..
