Crab on the Levee Pincher's CherryRed (SOLD)

Well here it is! My 1400th painting and post. This last 100 paintings have been a lot longer in coming. I still paint as much, but I have become more of a perfectionist. I  admit that it takes lots of commitment to keep posting paintings. I sometimes feel guilty if I have not posted enough. At times, I paint failure after failure. I have had at least one success for every failure, and at least one failure per success. I do think that my blog (as a body of work and a diary of my life over the last 7 years) is a success. wow.....1400 paintings...I didn't really plan it to be like this.

oh.... please buy this crab painting.

Again

Even in the not so early stages of an artist's career it's easy to make "The Fatal Error".

 I have done it and  I've watched you do it.  I have placed my focal point in the wrong spot or on occasion "off the canvas completely"! I have put the horizon line dead  on center of the canvas. In this example I show that I  was so worried about painting clouds that I decided on painting way too much parking lot.

This was a fun thing that just seemed to appear. I like it when that happens. It did take the best of 3 days work and a while of failures before that.
