And so I decided to paint a horse

My first try was HORRIBLE - truly miserably horrible!

That discouraged me. I painted over the "failure" immediately so no one would know and hid the canvas in the corner facing the wall. No one shall know.

I painted another horse - quietly, with no one around....and another one. And so it continued, failure after failure :

  • 5 against the wall.
  • 10 against the wall.
  • 20 against the wall. 1 facing out.
  • 25 against the wall. 4 facing out.
As I learned about painting horses, I also learned a bit about myself and fear of failure - (still working on that one).

"I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it."
