Day 21 - Red boat


Day 21 - Red Boat 6 x 8 Oil on Panel.
Today was a bad day as you can see by the painting I posted.
I had serious doubts about putting this painting up here for
everyone to see. I also had serious doubts about my abilities too.
I think today I was going through the motions of painting and
not paying attention to what I was doing. Richard Schmid says to
do it right the first time and you won't have to go back and fix it
later. I should have reminded myself of this and painted that red
rowboat as if it was this boat that inspired Hemingway to write
"The Old Man and The Sea". Now that would have been one Helluva
paining!!!!
