Messing around with paints again. I like painting because I am such a beginner that when things don’t turn out I feel neither failure nor shame. With writing, it’s too easy to slip into “I didn’t do good work today and therefore I am a bad writer and possibly a bad person.” (Repeat after me kids: you are not your work.) With paints, I never feel tempted to say “I cannot create a sense of depth and therefore I am failure.” It’s just practice, and process, and fun. This one is after some photographs taken near Watern Tor by Philip Reeve, who gave me permission. #acrylicpainting #acryliconboard #beginnerartist #beginnerart #beginnerpainting #painting #artistsoninstagram
