Painting Practice

Not every painting we create will make us smile. Many we want to throw way half way through, or just after we complete them( or “call a truce”, however you see it)…. Many we feel very proud of in the moment, only to return to them months/years later and cringe at the artist we once were. But we learn from all of them - and often the looks back reward us with unexpected treasures. Today’s work is not making me smile right now - but parts are. I like the little detail images way more than the painting as a whole. And I like the painterly-ness of it…. And I like that I made time to learn some more today.
