I finished this tonight. I did the first one yesterday, I matted it, I framed it, and I hated it. So I decided that what I saw in my mind's eye needed to be attempted once more. This came closer. I saw a painting in my mind's eye that was much more finished. More technical skill. I didn't have it. So I will keep doing this 'til I get it. I have started saying something to myself now that I've never said before," I have a long way to go." I have finally accepted that this is not where I want to be. BUT IT IS A START. I don't understand how artists get so good. How do they do it? I have been painting most of my life, and if I'm lucky I have another thirty years to go. Monet and Matisse painted well into old age. And God willing, so will I...
Have a great weekend. God bless. Dale
