Look at that!

One particular painting has been giving me a lot of grief. I just keep finding things about it I don’t like. So I will put it away and bring it out another time and re evaluate it and try to make changes to my satisfaction. One part of the painting that I was not 100% satisfied with was the clouds. I looked at them for a long time trying to figure out what to do with them. My enthusiasm for this painting was sinking and I pondered the thought of scraping the painting. This thought crosses the minds of some artists’ whose creation is not going as planned. I turned away from the painting and gazed out the window of my studio and there they were! I exclaimed out loud, "Look at that!" The perfect clouds were hanging in the sky just waiting for me to capture them for this painting. I swung my easel around and faced the window and painted them  before they decided to float away!

Ah….I feel a new life for this painting and the enthusiasm is back.
