I knew it wasn't a good idea to keep going when I really didn't have the focus!  Guess I'll work smarter on the next go around. No, photos. Too ticked off at self to bother.  Grrrrrrrrr!

I was thinking I could keep going in spite of the ol' noggin and I painted mid-range highlights too heavily widely on the boy's skin and in the wrong shade.

"I come back dissatisfied - I put it away, and when I have rested a little, I go and look at it with a kind of fear. Then I am still dissatisfied, because I still have that splendid scene too clearly in my mind to be satisfied with what I have made of it. But I find in my work an echo of what struck me..." (Vincent van Gogh)

"Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again." (Vincent van Gogh)
