An Attempt at Painting!

During the holidays my time is not mine, which I am not complaining because the joy I receive from being around my granddaughter cannot compare to ANYTHING! The love of a child is PURE!

So with that I haven't been able to paint very much except to start and leave a painting in limbo not sure where I want to go with it or if it's even worth progressing. It takes me time to look and think weather I can correct mistakes. I usually ALWAYS draw the image on so I know I'll be satisfied with the drawing but this time I just slapped on some paint and corrected (or tried) as I was going along. Sometimes I don't see my mistakes until a couple weeks later and I'll look at it and go "OH MY GOSH...WHAT WAS I THINKING ABOUT!" When I paint I want to be completely alone so I can concentrate...no phones, no bodies,nothing!!! Painting is a form of meditation for me.

With all that being said I post this humble beginning( or maybe it never) of a painting.

I wish everyone a holiday filled with Peace and Grace and with the understanding that there are always the most wonderful things surrounding us if only we take the time to open our eyes and see them!

Now that I've posted this I can see that the dogs body needs to be longer, etc, etc....I think this is going to just be a "pitch it" piece. This is what happens when you can't concentrate on what you're doing!! But it gave me something to post about.
