I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but there always seems to be a point when I'm painting, where I panic and think the painting looks horrible. I've learned that if I keep going, I usually find that the piece gets better. There were a couple of paintings that I did yesterday, that never passed that point of getting better, so I might try again with them today. These 2 were my better efforts, but I'm not sure if I followed the exact directions. I found myself just working with the paints and not thinking. Misty's painting are so soft and pretty, I hope I can learn her technique!
How is your Sunday going?

I've learned just to go with the flow when being creative Deb! If It feels good, do it! lol.
Damien just turned 7 and lost tooth #2, Jaidy is crawling at 4 mon!! how's Tori's baby?
i think that your paintings are wonderful.....and yes, i panic all the time!! i have a terrible habit of stopping too soon (i think i'm afraid i'll "ruin" what i have!). keep having fun with your paints.... :))
These are very nice and would make a great background for a collage.
Good job! Keep up the good work!
I too have panic attacks when creating but just keep going. It will eventually turn out to be one of the best yet!

Thank you for stopping by and commenting...
I really like your background for your blog...someday I'll find something!
Your paintings are great...soft and flowing, I've always wanted to paint, I'll get there...
You are a very creative lady, I noticed the wonderful hat you made for your new grandson, as well as the story book and journal!!!
Wonderful work...

Hi Debbie!
Hey, this happens to me all the time. Sometimes I give up and just let it go and it actually ends up turning out ok :) I think we put too much pressure on ourselves.
Thanks for your visit, the concert was amazing! SO much talent to see:)
Thanks for visiting my blog! Your backgrounds are very pretty. I enjoyed trying "Misty backgrounds" too. There is always an 'ugly phase' in a painting. You discovered the cure for it - keep on painting. I fight with it all the time...
They are amazing backgrounds. Have fun with your work and it will automatically be better or may be best!:)

Debbie,
Remember, when you feel like panic coming on, "no one is watching", there are no mistakes in real art.. and I think you did an incrediable job!
Clapping for you!
