painting practice

I am a member of the Great Plains Watercolor Society in Sioux Falls and we have a show coming up and the deadline to enter is May 31st. and I needed something new and in the correct size.

so I grabbed something hanging out in the studio and started over. and actually the “over” that had been there before had never left the studio.

you know- you like parts of it, but it didn’t come all together, so it never left the studio type of painting….. yeah. one of those.

so I started over again. it is already wired (bonus) and all I have to do is paint? yaaaassss. grab that one.

but you know when you haven’t painted now again in a while? that weird doubt that creeps at the edges?….. I had a little of that going on. I have been working my 100dayproject- but that is collage. cut n glue. no paint.

but, I kept going. painting. wiping. scribbling. layering more paint.

I do really like this portion (pictured here). but that is the problem, right? I like only part of it.

I did paint a bit more and then ever stitched onto the canvas. go big or go home.

we will see if I still like it this morning.

happy painting. keep trying. layering. dreaming.
