I just painted a failure…it
has great “stuff” in it but the traits of “Oh My Goodnesses”
have taken over. I am not going to allow that, to squash my continuing to paint
today.
I am taking the experiment to
the next level…why not? It is just a piece of paper waiting for an education.
Now of course that is how I feel in the privacy of my studio. If you walked in
right now I would start the apologies and excuses of what is wrong with it. But
you are not here so I can examine my process, evaluate what was I thinking or
maybe missed thinking. I can sort out the educational value and think of
possibilities for the next painting and or solutions to the one in front of
me…I am certainly not going to be discouraged or stop my creativity. I just
will not allow myself to go down that road.
So what if it doesn’t work? I will strive on…to the next discovery.
None of my paintings are
truly a failure as I am learning.
How cool is that!
When I stop learning,
experimenting, analyzing and having fun- my work will show it. The freshness of
discovery will be undiscovered.
My moving forward and repeating
the successful past is wonderful. How blessed I am to have the opportunity to
create. Failure….nope….not in my studio! Paint on-paint now!
