It isn't done. I don't even like it yet. It's hard for me to leave it alone. I want to turn the easel around and forget about it. Or I want to attack it with more color and try to fix it. I want to get it done today. I want it to look how I thought it would look. I want to take back the dry brushing over the wood. I want to add more magenta over the white. I want to add blue over the brown. I wanted to get it right the first time.
I have to let it go for today. The paint needs to dry awhile. I have to sit with it and study it before I can do anything positive to it.
...and though it's uncomfortable I thought I'd share before it's done. This is me, practicing what I preach.

How pretty!!! Glad you got to paint yesterday and sympathize with the amount of patience it takes to get it from brain to canvas. Great job on the greens!
....and i just WANT IT. like...would give you money to walk away from it so i can hang it on my wall. silly, girl.
it is EXACTLY what i have been looking for.
Don't you just love the process? I have a love-dread relationship with the frustration before inspiration stage. I know that it is necessary so that the wall to inspiration can be breached, but I still love/dread this stage. Thanks for continuing to share your process.
