I feel like I’m falling behind. I have set some really great goals this year and have a whole year to implement them but my mind races and say its April already!!! I don’t work very well under pressure that is why I did not go into commercial art. So I have to get past this I need to be relaxed and focused to paint. Distractions are my worst enemy.
I finished two paintings that have been weighing heavy on my mind successful or not they are done.
I finally started painting on a large canvas which is something have been wanting to do for some time.
The Granny painting still sits but is not too far from done and neither is my still life now that I look at it.
But as I write I sit in front of another unfinished painting a nocturnal night scene painting one that I enjoy very much even though it’s not finished. I just need to perfect it a little and straighten out the perspective in one of the buildings and then it’s done. So I have been sitting here for about an hour staring at it trying to figure out what exactly I’m going to do because I don’t want to muck it up. There are some really great areas in this painting that I don’t want to lose. I need a ruler… I’m cautious because I know I’ll go in there and want to rework the whole painting so I’m refraining from that. That is not what this painting needs it just needs a little attention not a lot. But once the creative process starts who know what will happen.
It’s little painting like this that detour me from staying on the straight and narrow path to where I need to go. It’s like nothing get left behind. Is this good or bad? I’m still progressing just at a different speed and it’s more like leap and bounds when I do go forward.
