I have this visitor that comes every now and then in my art. Sometimes they stay for a moment, sometimes they stay for days or even weeks! This time, they decided to stay for weeks…OMG. That visitor you ask? Frustration.

I started this piece, too excited and ready to dive in once again in the world of hands. Ooh Chileeeeeee, why! I knew once I finished a couple fingers that it was all wrong. But I didn’t want to start over (This is where frustration began her visit). So I left it alone for what seemed like months. I don’t like to work on multiple pieces at once. I get really focused on one piece and almost refuse to do something else because I want that one thing finished first (I probably should work on more than one so you guys don’t have to wait so long lol). Frustration stayed too long this time and finally left; girl stayed for nearly a month!

I decided to finish the painting and paint whatever came to mind, flaws and all.

In an odd way, I love it and still see beauty in it. On the other hand, I’m just like, girl, these hands are a hot mess. But practice makes perfect right? SO on to my next set of hands or hand (I’m already mad at myself for going forth). If frustration visits again, she ain’t staying as long this time, girl has got to go!
