Have you ever worked hard on a task or project, only to fall flat on your face? Well, that was me today. I finally had a chance to paint, so I grabbed a sunflower, got out my paints, and started. I think there's something to be said for enjoying what you do. At the beginning, when I was blocking in the shapes with transparent oils and medium, I was enjoying it. As I started to outline my shapes with the Kemper Wipe Out Tool, I began to stress. I felt I was getting too nit picky. I ended up losing the leaves, the vase, and became more and more unhappy with it. Now it's just a funky sunflower floating in front of a sad background. Actually, it's not. It's no longer on the panel. This was my first "wiper" and I'm glad I did. Onward and upward! It was a good learning experience. Stay tuned!
