the agony and the ecstasy...

ha ha! Got out the brushes this morning for the first time in oh, about two months. Made one stroke on the picture of Roo and decided I could not paint this picture. There is no way. So I set it aside and just started messing around with some cheap canvas boards. Ended up with 3 pictures--a flower, a toy, and a mess. But it was fun! I think I will take inspiration from kids for painting. Thick, pure colors. Who cares if it looks like anything? Just have fun.

This pulled up an odd memory of being a little kid--maybe 6,7?--solemnly informing my mom that I would now have to start drawing the same things over again, as I had already drawn everything.
