This repository has a two fold purpose. One, to keep a record of the watercolor, water soluble oil and colored pencil pieces I paint and their evolution. Secondly, to maintain a record of my past, and possibly future, writings.

Something New, Something Frustrating

Mañana will be in the nineties. I hope to be in the studio early trying to salvage several disasters. Several weeks ago I began two ill conceived oils and one watercolor of the same subject.







Since I don't apply what I have, or was supposed to have, learned, I spend a lot of time fixing instead of painting. Guess by slopping on paint and doing a lot of correcting I "learn" something new. Painting is very frustrating at times, because I don't like reading instructions and just jump right in. But when it works it's enjoyable. Unfortunately, it does work that often.

Sorry for your frustrations, the heat certainly does not help at all.
