Often, when I start a new painting, I get very discouraged and wonder why I pretend to be able to do this. It seems obvious I can't. I want to give up, because it seems hopeless.

The images are photos with a point and shoot camera, sorry about the reflections. I'll start scanning, if I can, I'm having difficulties with my scanner! :-(
This is a slow process for me, but I am working on i! It is as of yet quite unfinished. It is for a book I am working on for my grandson.

I added another layer of paint. Most of the paint I am using is fairly transparent (although some is thick and opaque. I Have to put many layers on to get it to look the way I want it, I scanned this one, but the scanner is messing up and I don't have time right now to fiddle with it, and since it isn;t done yet, I'll just post this--hope you can see the difference between the layers (versions) (drafts).

I think your work is amazing Mary, not just the image and the work you put into them but the energy that you capture beautifully which makes it alive and vibrant for its young audience.
Thanks so much John for your very kind supportive comments. :-D :-D <3
