I started this painting as a demonstration for a local art study group.
Before I began I explained that every painting at some time goes through an ugly stage and it’s hard to keep working on it. Confidence of success is a great motivator.
I painted some more on it in my studio and even though it’s still in the ugly stage, it’s beginning to show signs of promise.
I’ll sleep on it for a while.
After about three hours of work this morning I think it’s finished.
So, don’t fear the ugly just make it your motivator.


You can definitely see the “sunlight” shining thru on the finished painting……..
