Not only did I get unstuck, I finished the painting. A good artist knows when to stop. I could fiddle with the painting forever, but I'm calling it finished. I am happy with it, and I'm ready for the next one.

The next one will actually be two. I'm starting a commission piece as well as then next painting for the book contract. There is always a mix of emotions when it's time to start anew. There is the excitement for all of the possibilities. There is also the trepidation of all that could go wrong. And of course reality will be somewhere in between.

I am excited though...
