Paint Wrestling.....

It has been slow going today with the oil painting. I have removed every stroke I put down today, about twenty flowers. I am really not satisfied with my choice, so back to researching flowers a bit to find just the right fit for the subject. Datura is really standing out as an option........

It is a frustrating thing to feel like the last 4 or 5 hours of painting have been lost, but I try to remember that there is a lesson to be learned in persistence and a willingness to find another way to complete a vision better. (Despite my outward maturity on the inside I am saying "aarrghhh," though...)
