Permission to Fail

Yes, that's correct. You have permission to fail. We sometimes expect everything we paint to be exceptional. I hate to break it to you, but that is not the case. Sometimes we struggle with a particular painting and are never completely satisfied with it. That's fine. If you set it aside for a certain length of time you may see what it is that is not working. You may come across something that another artist has painted that inspires you to take the painting in another direction. So, today I give you and myself permission to fail. In failing we have the opportunity to start over again and who knows where that will lead us? That's a freeing thought, isn't it? Sometimes we get into a rut. Start over. Go in a completely different direction. You will not regret it. It will get the creative juices flowing again. Happy painting!
