#1. ENDURANCE (Reflection While Painting “Buon Appetito!”)
Painting—Bananas
Reflection—ENDURANCE
Painters need to be resilient. Not every piece will work out how you wish it to. However, there’s no knowing others’ responses. All you can be sure of, as artist, is that you have to keep on plugging away—no matter how you feel. The more you practice, the better your work will become, even if you’re the only one who notices. Putting your best effort into what you’re doing while you’re doing it is what counts. Short cuts don’t get you to your destination any faster. Slowly and surely provides more certain foundations and a better route guide. Even without a teacher or lesson plan, progress is always possible. We all learn from personal mistakes. And, since we’re usually our own severest critics, it’s unlikely there won’t be any mistakes (or answers) found.
