Perfection is Overrated, Part 2

I tried another painting and ended up really not liking it. As the paint was being swirled around on the canvas, a little voice (the voice of reason) was yelling, 'Stop! That's ENOUGH!' Of course, I didn't listen.

It started out similarly to my green cloud painting

 but this is the muddy-looking end result:

The hubs said he likes it (quell surprise!)

The colors were too blended for my liking. After looking at it for about 2 weeks, my new favorite saying popped into my head...I swear in that moment, you might have been able to see an actual thought bubble near my head saying "It's only paint". I put some more paint on it:

Um. No. It sat for another few days and...all together now..."It's Only Paint." This is the same painting, with an approximation of some kind of abstract flower. I'm going to go ahead and call it abstract, instead of badly painted. In my defense, there was a lot of paint on the canvas already.

I let that dry and then worked a little more on it and now have this as the end result:

It has sat for awhile and in looking at it now, I might dabble some more with it. It's growing on me :)

In another note, my brother in law said I should put a key somewhere in the painting and make it my 'trademark'. Maybe I will when the painting are something I want to claim ;) Until then...it's only paint!
