This painting of a plant I photographed a year ago was started about six months ago. I put liquid mask down to outline the plant, blocked in the sky, and then worried and procrastinated for several months more and failed to finish it. I was afraid of making mistakes, afraid of it becoming imperfect painting.
Last week I read the book Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland. Then I sat my lazy behind down in my chair, and finished this stubborn plant.
It's not perfect. It has mistakes. But it is done, it is good enough, and I like it.
Keep on truckin'.
