The Thrill Is Gone

Half of an as yet untitled
work in progress.


AAHHHGHRG! For crying out loud! This painting was started on the 30th and it's still not done!

I've gotten way too precise and way too worried about too much concerning this painting, taking way too much time in the process. This is NOT 'sposed to be draftsmanship. It's supposed to be paintin' - expressive - free.

Friday nite? Going out an' kickin' up my heals? Nope. I knew when I stepped foot into the studio this evening it'd be a washout. (Not that I'm your regular party animal anyway, for pete's sake.) Just, well, you gotta strike while the fire is hot and I was in the mood. So here I sit at 4 in the morning after spending the night, well, right now I'm just trying to back-off and take a breather.

I've rounded the bend though, past that point where I keep thinking, 'It's gonna be crap.' Should be okay. We'll see, unless I do something idiotic that'd totally bollocks it up.

K, so feeling a bit better now… Stay tuned. Time to get back to it.


Cheers!
