He's thu lil' suh-suh-suh-meller

Lil' kiddy noes. Whutta yew suh-mellin', Suh-TAN-leee?

Another quick post... I'm feeling okay today. I managed to get a jog in and even painted a little yesterday. Although I found out that I forgot how to blend acrylic colors. I seem to be having a problem. I was working on one of my two small fish and it just was NOT working. The paint is too thick and lumpy. I'm trying to paint yellow over red. I ended up working on this teeny thing for an hour and then scraping some of it off with my fingernail. Ugh... Art is not working for me lately. I am sucking. I just want to finish these two small things and I'm having such a hard time! Even with my brand new paint brushes.

*sigh*

I will work on it again soon. Damn it, I will FINISH these two lousy, 3" fish paitings! ARGH! I can't believe how hard this is for me right now. I swear, I used to know how to paint! It's just a matter of continuing to pick up that paintbrush. I can do it.

Okay, on to the crap I have to do. Gotta get through this checklist. Later...

Maybe you're not giving art enough time. You can't force it. I love acrylics. I don't really know what colors to mix with what. I just improvise. Sometimes that can be fun and put the joy back into painting. Don't give up.
