I've been thinking a lot about perfection lately. I heard a saying a long time ago, and repeat it to myself regularly: "Perfect is the enemy of good enough." This is especially true for painting. If you shoot for perfection in any of it, you will never be happy. It's all a gooshy mess. The idea is that when you step back and squint at it, the gooshy mess reads like glass somehow.

Here's some more paint gooshy-ness. It's amazing to me how different colored glass can look depending on the exact angle of the light, and the color of what's behind it.

I'm heading back to Germany soon, so I thought I'd dig through my old Germany files. After I painted these guys (my mother-in-law's cows), I realized I already had once before. Oh well. I actually love seeing the differences.
My book, Daily Painting, is available on Amazon and book stores near you.

Also check out my online tutorials (some are free!).

And I have other books for sale that are collections of 100 paintings each.


I am no longer teaching workshops (except for one last one in Italy - get on the wait list).
