Almost a week-getting frustrating


Started painting the pear int he bowl...couldn't get the ellipse right and I had too many distractions from the family...so, I "wiped" the bowl, moved the pear out and finished to painting from there.  I like the pear itself, but I'm not crazy about the painting overall.

Today, I tried to just follow my instincts and try not to think too much.  My greatest frustration is my kids keep eating my props!  I'm excited to see where this goes and I'm going to plan a studio visit to another daily painter's studio next week.  The journey continues.

  1. Maybe they wouldn't eat the props if you started painting veggies?!

  2. I like it! and you're not allowed to get frustrated after a week....I was frustrated yesterday too, weekends are tough with everyone running around, you're doing the right thing to do something that comes easier if the kids are everywhere. Let me know what day you want to come, I'll show you Carol's trick for an elipse, as well as my viewfinder trick.

  4. Veggies are a great suggestion!

    V-I'm glad I can make an art skeptic like something I make! Maybe I should paint some veggies in your honor!
