Day Twenty Two: I wish I was better at...

Day 22 - A picture of something you wish you were better at

Painting!

I think I mentioned recently that a good friend of ours has encouraged me to take up painting again after 17 years. I've been taking baby steps, starting with just sketching and slowly moving back to oils. I'm so rusty though...I haven't dared share anything with anyone yet. Maybe

I promise I will share - once I've built a little more confidence in my abilities ;)

In school, we were always encouraged to, "use the GOOD paper!".... in other words, the spontaneous impulse can often be FAR more interesting, than the meticulous study!

Not to mention a freer expression of the sub-conscious... if you don't stop to think about what you're doing, while you do it, you can be done, before you know it!

You're right - I know you're right :)
And I'm trying to be spontaneous and put my brain to sleep so it doesn't interfere...it's just proved difficult so far.
But I shall persevere! :)

It's really difficult! Almost as difficult as figuring out when the work is finished!

The ladies in this icon may have been finished before I started to dress them, but I did, anyway!

I've had a peek at some of your icons and I'm intrigued! They look great :)

You, Sir, are charming. I love your candid insights, solid content, and pictures ;-)

Where are you getting your ideas for each day's post?

Thank you - it's quite cathartic I find :)

This is a 30 Days of Pictures meme - if you go back to Day 1, I've listed them all upfront :)
