Well, I thought I had decided on my current painting's name, but it had other opinions. I wanted thought it should be called The gospel according to Wilbur. However, WILBUR thought other wise. I am now changing it's name to The Gospel according to Roy G. Biv. A little less witty, but it is out of my hands. Kind of in a tricky spot with it. Roy's being a bit of a stubborn fool. Some paintings just float right into the way they are supposed to be. Then there are the ones like Roy that fight the process kicking and screaming. I don't like painting the forced way. Too much room for mistake. When a painting flows there are never mistakes. I have been lucky enough to have been on a streak. This is the first stubborn painting I have had in years. There are only two reasons for this. Either I was not pushing my skills hard enough OR... I was not pushing myself hard enough.
I think this painting is just a touch beyond my skill level which will make it all the more satisfying when I pull it off. Nothing better than doing something that you think is impossible. It does wonders for the self esteem. Now that I think about it, I have been accomplishing plenty of impossible goals lately. Failure is inevitable with the multitude of impossible tasks I have been taking on. Though Roy ain't going to be one of them... You hear that Roy... Tomorrow it's on.
