Although the feelings of frustration and inadequacy are common to most of humanity, I had to laugh at myself for initially reading this post and "identifying" with the struggle. As if we shared something unique. But your honesty provides such relief. I think of other art blogs in which the artist describes the ease in creating a particular piece and realize I'd rather read your record of failure. Simply human nature, I guess. I do wish you'd gotten shots of the first iterations of the work. Curiosity. I find many of your paintings exquisite and am enjoying the discovery of your blog. Thank you for this blog.
