Hi Michele! Thank you! While it is a goal to have a "style", experimentation and play are what make your artwork YOU. The only way you can find YOU is to paint and play with different techniques, genres, mediums, etc. After you begin to narrow down who you are, artistically speaking, your paintings will still evolve and change subtly over time. Enjoy the process. It is so stinking FUN!! Bookwise: The Buddhist Enneagram, by Susan Piver (Short, easy to read, and to the point) The Wisdom of the Enneagram, by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson (looonnng, but informational) You are a Badass, by Jen Sincero (LOVED this one!) Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, by Lori Gottlieb (LOVED this one, too!) Neuro Dharma, by Rich Hanson (great book on how meditation changes the neurology of the brain) Typography (podcast ) The Road Back to You, Ian Cron (great, informative, short, easy read, helpful) As a side note: Many Enneagram models are based in the church, but you can ignore that part if it feels weird. The personality stuff is still so spot on.
