That "In-between" Stage
OK, here's that "in-between stage" of a painting that I previously mentioned. When I always think "oh, this is sooo not working". I have to work really hard on my impulse control and to not tear it up. Despite serious planning of what I am trying to accomplish, I really have no clue as to what will happen. If it works. . . great. If not. . . I'm probably in hot water again and need to figure out a way to fix it. That's why I say perseverance is my strength as opposed to any great talent. And of course, painting just makes me happy. Anyways, that "in-between stage" is usually so unbearable that I had to post at least two pics to show that there is always hope that things can get better. And I'm not finished yet.
Here's hoping for a Great New Year!

Over time I've learned not to fight a lot of things, including what my art looks like. Today, it comes from my soul and I allow it only to be source of joy. It has become one of my essential ingredients for happiness.
