Arrrrrrrrgggh!


I like to paint. Its more fun when things go smoothly, but struggling with problems are a part of the process. Then there are paintings like this one. You set up and wait for the light..........when it finally happens you start. And your color mixes are off, and the light is changing too rapidly, and you all of a sudden you start painting each rock, instead of a coast line, and your paint is drying before you can get it off your pallette. ARRRRRRRGH!!! I have this vision of picking up my french easel and throwing over the cliff into the ocean. Phew.. You have to know when to say when, and I finally did here, and packed up and went home. Lumps of coal like this one make you appreciate the diamonds even more. On we go. :)
