Frustration
Tangled Trees 8 x 10
When a painting isn’t going well it can be extremely frustrating. More frustrating than missing the bus or listening to the kids fight or misplacing my phone. I get slightly obsessed with fixing the problem, and sometimes resort to painting out entire sections and redoing them. I guess I can chalk it up to learning and it is probably good for me.
Should I admit when a painting has been difficult? If I admit that I am not satisfied with my work, does that mean that others might try to pick out the problems? With respect to the painting above, I will say nothing and you can make up your own mind.

…I’m just looking for those problems…can’t see anything… (I really like this painting – problems or not.)
I think confessions are good.. And you stuck with the painting as well and it is lovely
This is great work!
