Here is a great example of an awful painting that I made. I make a lot of terrible paintings, and I try to post them even when they are awful. More and more often, these paintings are so discouraging that I can’t stomach the thought of posting them, but I need to. Paintings like this make me feel awful at the moment, because they remind me that I’m not where I want to be – but they are also some of the most inspiring paintings for me later on, because I look at these disasters and I can see improvement.
