Is this ever the truth or what. I have a large canvas portrait of my son that has been at the underpainting stage for 6 years. I was just reading the "About" on David Darrow's site that you built for him and he said something to the effect if he doesn't continue or start it he can't screw up. I cannot figure out what my fear is all about and why I can't just pull out the paints, sit down at my easel, and completely enjoy the process. What is it about being an artist that is so daunting? I seem to always start every painting feeling like a failure, like I haven't a clue what I'm doing. I probably don't. Still, whether I do or not, I've got to stop painting for everyone else out there and start painting for me. Maybe then I'll keep the brushes out in the open, and paints readily available, my easel will be splattered with paint and I won't care one bit who likes it or not. I just need to enjoy the process - and you know something, Chris, so do you. No more going to our websites and seeing the same paintings with nothing new. How about it?

I watch him paint also. I just wanted to say I'm so happy for you and your wife, what a blessing. I think there is something special about her being born on the date you lost your sister. Take care.
