Current Update

What's that saying...can't see the forest for the trees? That's somewhat akin to what I'm experiencing with my painting at this point. I can't just sit down and paint for worrying about the details. I finally set the bell tower aside for now. It's a worthy subject and I will paint it some day but I need to find a way to capture it's beauty without driving myself crazy with the details.

I'm reminded of something a painter said in an instructional video I once watched. He said something to the effect that you learn more from painting 50 1-hour paintings than painting one 50-hour painting. So, I'm off to paint my 50 1-hour paintings. I shall not fear (LOL).
