I know, this is the same painting i posted yesterday but i touched it up a little. I think this is a better image too. Not as many lumps. I meant to paint a new painting today but i am too tired. I am back at the gym this week after 2 weeks off because of colds and spring break.  Todays spin class was really tough. Hopefully tomorrow i will have the energy to paint again. It is nice having the internet to look at other artists work and get inspired. There are so many talented artists out there. In school you are surrounded by other artists and you struggle together and learn from each other. You have days when you feel unworthy next to another painter and then the days you feel smug because your painting is going well. Some days it feels like i am back at school while i look at all the amazing artists out there.  I have to keep remind myself of what i discovered in school and that is that every artist is different and unique. I compare painting with handwriting in the sense that everyone has thier own style of handwriting as well as brushstroke.  The method of which they apply paint to the canvas. My mom is a fantastic artist. I would like to get her on the internet. She was my professor in college. Every once in a while i still need a critique from her. I am lucky to have that.
