That Painting and I Have COME TO AN AGREEMENT

 

We have decided to take a detour.

Until we are able to spend a lot more time at a seashore, we have no idea what the heck we're doing.

We are, however on our way to the mountains, and we have to cross high desert, and plains, and travel through foothills to get to said mountains.

Therefore, it is our joint decision to follow our natural inclinations and do something we know how to do.

The good news is that we are also right fond of horses and dogs, know them well as a matter of fact.

And enough is enough.

This painting does not want to be what I thought I wanted it to be, nor even anything close.

Fine time to find that out NOW, when it's supposed to be shipped within the next couple of days.

If This Painting Was A Kid I Would SEND IT TO ITS ROOM!

Since it's fighting me EVERY step of the way, chances are I'm going to call this battle a loss for me.

That's not a bad thing.

Every time this happens, it happens at the WORST possible time, drives me around the bend for a couple of hours before I give in and turn the process over to the paints and canvas.

That is inevitably the best decision because trying to force it has yet to produce a positive outcome for me.

So this is the time for me to go ahead and let the bloody recalcitrant painting take the bit and just hang on for the ride.

The good news is that none of those crazy rides has ever unseated me, so there's that.
