Day 10... "Nuthin"


I painted ALL day today. I was doing a portrait of my daughter riding a horse.. Finally I decided to give it to my daughter and let her finish it. I tend to be very critical of my own work, but there usually comes a time during the painting when I breathe a happy sigh, and i know it is done. No happy sighs today, just frustration. Painting portraits is not easy for me. If it doesn't come out exact, then I don't want to put my name on it. My biggest problem was with proportion. I got to a point in the painting where fixing it would be harder than just starting all over. The horse was too long, my daughter looked 16 and she's only 10. Any way, I just wanted to keep up with my daily posting, so I will put a tiny portion of the painting on here. It figures, the only part I was fairly happy with was the horses ass.
