I primed my canvas with a mix of white and black gesso (Grey).
I began to look at a picture I was going to reference that my grandpa painted. Putting all the steps together in my head thinking every step through as if I had painted this picture a million time in my head.
I could see where every color, every detail would go when all of a sudden I lost all desire to paint.
WOW what the heck, whats wrong with me?
I have painted 9 paintings from dec. 1st to jan 15th and since then I have just been stuck
I guess I will try again this weekend and hopefully this whatever it is will pass.
Here is the picture I absolutely LOVE that my grandpa painted many years ago. I always wished I could have learned how he did it or could have just caught a glimpse of him painting this one. This Picture is probably 24 years old so I was only about 4 yrs old when my grandfather painted it.
Til next time...

Hi Jay, Thought I'd check in with you and see how things have been going. I love the painting your grandfather did, he'd be proud that you're learning to paint. Give it another go, you do have to be in the right mindset to paint. Next time it may feel wonderful. I think it's like anything though you can get out of the habit and it's hard to get back to it.

THATS NICE!
