Wow the weekend came and I wanted to spend a lot of time painting.  Ignoring some real important things that I should've done around the house I decided to paint . In my mind I had a mountain scene planned but it seemed as if everything I tried to do that day frustrated me . Nothing I did would get from my brain to the canvas with the painting I envision.
I even scraped away the mountainside and started over again but much to my frustration it still did not meet my expectations.

I think when we paint or have any hobby we need to learn when to back away if we are frustrated and stop the project.


I pulled out a new canvas and created a peaceful landscape with a pond. My frustration level decreased and I still managed to have an almost finished painting with my sanity intact. Maybe next weekend I can finish the painting.
