NFS yetI am sure that many painters go through the battles of confidence and self worth, which can hold them back from fluidity with the brush. I have been struggling with these issues, and my low self esteem for some time, and have in recent months fallen into the trap of 'how others see you' and 'their critical analysis of personal worth'- thankfully my close friends have seen this and buoyed me up this week :-)
Now... back to painting - the colours are not really 'true' sadly - they are more saturated, and a bit harsh [6"x6" paintings on belgian #15 linen with wood support]. I have 10 chooks paintings to do for my mini exhibition.............. so will be painting night and day for a while. Just as well I paint Alla Prima - all in one go. They will be put on the wall of Bonne Bouche in Colwall sooooon promise! and will let you know when.
