Okay this is a great example of how I screw things up. Crap. So the whole magenta idea sucked.

So I had to go back over it with my ultramarine and cadmium and hansa yellow medium. Now I've lost all the nice easy brushstrokes and it is just madly overworked. Arg. You see I go from happy to miserable in 20 minutes. I try to stop thinking about it, but somehow I just worry it to death. Ha, another revelation of how art expresses who I am. Worrying everything to death. Well. I'm going to leave it alone now. I don't know if it's a patience thing. I need to just slow down and make choices instead of just slathering on the paint I think. Maybe I'll like it better tomorrow. In the mean time I need to think about what to do next. Juli and Tricia will be down and want to paint with me. I'm not too sure how that will work out but it should be fun. I'm going to go do some gessoing and clean up the studio. Arg.
