Breach at Dusk

I've always wanted to paint abstracted seascapes. Funny, I always thought they would be in acrylic and large, but the choice of watercolor is an obvious one.

This painting is pure energy and process. For a fifth watercolor painting, pretty good. I mean if I'm not going to toot my own horn who will. I know sometimes it's hard not to be your own worst critic, and sometimes I have a tendency focus on the negative. I see that one little area that nags at me and lose sight of the whole. It's even hard to post my work and not give a full blown critique. Not to say that a painter shouldn't self critique, but we don't always have to share it with the world. It took me a while to love this painting. It's so different from anything I've done before. Now I think it's one of my favorites.

Well it's Friday afternoon, and I'm taking the time to paint. I wish I'm disciplined enough to paint everyday, but I'm getter better at not waiting for the muse to get me started. If I just start, she will appear. And if she fails to show, I've only wasted some paint and paper, and maybe learned what not do to.
