Now we’ve all had bad days of one sort or another. I’ve had from bad hair days to bad write days to just really all-bad days. Now I’m having bad paint days. So I decided that I was maybe choosing too difficult subjects for #the100dayproject. Having painted quite a few geishas in the past with no problems, I thought they would make a good subject for a few days. But alas, no such luck. I’m laying on layers and layers of paint, correcting, revising. She’s admonishing me with her critical eyes. Good thing I haven’t given her mouth. She can’t give me no sass.

Perhaps I can leave her thus. Things get worse when I try too hard. I’m on day 46, not quite halfway. Day 45 was bad – Henry and Kate from On Golden Pond. Henry looked too young and not grumpy enough. My colours looked muddy. Day 44 of Mugs and More Art started the bad paint days streak. It like the domino effect.

I just have to accept that in life there are good and bad days. Sometimes we have to give things a rest and do the best we can. Tomorrow is another day.
