You win some, you lose some

Aw hell! It just wasn't a good day to push myself.I went for a walk to run some errands and walked past some lovely street art.IMG_5791 copy copyBoth city consigned and not so city consigned, but both equally lovely.IMG_5798 copy copyIt put me in the mood to do some painting this afternoon, and so I grabbed a canvas and toned it with acrylics (left)...and hated it. So here's where I should have stopped and sanded the whole thing off, but, deciding I could save it, I grabbed my oils and toned it again (right)...and still hated it, because now the acrylic tone was ghosting thru the wet oil. (sigh)toningNext mistake: I picked some bluebells to paint...001 copy copy...and then looked around and saw my roses.004 copy copyBluebells...roses...bluebells...roses...ahhhh!010 copy copyRoses won for the time being, so I squished out some paint and picked up a few paintbrushes and painted in a couple roses...006 copy copy...and hated it!009 copy copySo I wiped all the paint of the canvas, put it aside and went to water the garden.011 copy copySome days are like that. :(
