I've been working on three new paintings this week. Well more than that if you include the several drawings and paintings I attempted at our Life Drawing session on Tuesday.
Each of the pieces has been troublesome, I don't know why. I suppose I expected them to be easy and arty and to flow off the brush! It must've been my frame of mind - dissatisfied with myself.
I've taken photos of the 'work in progress' as I often do, to help me think about them; but I'll only show you one of them here because it's the only one that excites me.
And that's the key. I have to be excited about a piece to feel as if it's worth finishing and showing.
