"Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts."
Winston Churchill
I have to remember that not everything turns out as I envisioned. I threw away two paintings this week when techniques I tried failed. This flower which I drew from life, was one of them. I thought it would be interesting to draw with brush and ink but then I was disappointed when I applied the washes of color. I rescued it from the trash a day later and did some experimenting and playing with textures.
