No more excuses

I took a few reference photos yesterday for a painting that I am planning on working on this week. I still need to get something to mount the feathers on so they don’t move. If anyone has any suggestions on how to do that feel free to comment to this post. I need to go to the art supply store and pick up some more canvas. Not that I am being that productive but I am running low. Whenever that happens I tend to start saving my canvases for a potentially great painting that would make da vinci jealous however since all the great masters were much better painters than me. I just end up not painting. This is no good if you are an aspiring artist with dreams of feeding your family solely from artwork created. I know that if I work hard paint often and market myself that this will happen but if you get lazy it takes longer. This is why I am trying to change my habits about blogging and painting on a daily basis. I don’t mind writing I actually enjoy it. I just normally write for my own enjoyment so writing something that other people will read is a bit of a step for me. I love painting I just allow too many distractions to keep me from it. I am trying to cut down on the distractions and get over my fears by doing something about it.
