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.
