Day 8 – Painting Over and Trying Again

….to post or not to post

When a piece of art doesn’t work do you own up to it and post it anyway? Since I’m on this Daily Art Challenge for March I feel like I’m being dishonest when I don’t talk about my failed pieces. I seem to be in a rut right now. Nothing I do seems to work. I’ve painted over this one piece now three times. If it doesn’t work this time I think I need to start fresh and put this piece aside.

I wanted to paint using bright and cheery colours but it just didn’t work for me. I’m better off painting intuitively. Here is where it started and how I repainted over it this morning. No guarantees that this is going to work.

Wishing the World Peace and Harmony

….difficult to paint when I’m seeing so many negative images on TV

I continue make art every day but on Day 6 of my March Art Challenge I needed some positive symbols of peace. For my warm-up activity I found these Chinese characters of Peace and Harmony.
