Work in Progess

I

Going through some old photos this week, I ran across some of an angel in a cemetery. Her wings had this angular shape at the top, and for some reason it made me think, why, I could paint some wings like that!

Sometimes that's all it takes for me, finally really truly SEEING something for the first time, and realizing that I can do that!  Sometimes, though, I'm not so convinced when I pick up the paintbrush, but just start to paint anyway--and guess what? It all works out--if I don't like what I paint I can always paint over it--but usually, I kinda LIKE what I end up with! 

And I do it again and again and again, until I'm really happy with it. So the moral is, sometimes you're inspired and you paint, and sometimes you're NOT inspired, but you paint anyways--and both are good things to do...
