Painting is Hard.

Painting is hard. I have not worked on any paintings since June. That is not to say I have not been working, I have been preparing the artwork for some prints and working on design jobs but, I have not so much as touched a paint brush. After nearly two months away, I can say for certain… painting is hard. For the last two weeks I have been terrified to jump back into the paintings I left unfinished, procrastinating for fear of screwing up what was already established on the canvas. Today was the day to put that behind me and make the leap. Every stroke fought me and I spent nearly as much time wiping mistakes off the canvas as I did putting paint on. Anyways, after a (stressful) day of painting, progress was made so, I guess that is all what counts in the end. More progress on Nikki’s transformation (finaly):
