I'm taking a break from painting right now.  When I started last night it was relaxing & peaceful & painting #1 turned out awesome.  But then I decided to paint another to match it, I wanted them to tell a story.  But I can not get the second one right.  First the background was all wrong, & the colors were to dark to paint over.  So I had this awesome idea, I'll just cut out the main focal point, paint a new background, & glue my focal point on.  It'll look interesting & give the picture a little more depth.  So I cut it out, started painting a new background, & it turned out AWFUL.  Worse then the first.  That's when I put my brush down, & took a step back.  If I'm getting annoyed, frustrated, or pissed off while I'm painting, it's time for a break.  A good, long, break.  And some food. 
I really like the idea behind the two paintings, & I'd really like to finnish the second.  I just hope I get it right next time.  If not then....I'll just stick to sewing instead of painting.
Love & water colors,
Ariel
