Here’s to the paintings that you think should be easy and familiar, but instead they turn around and kick your ass by challenging you every, single step of the way. I think out of sheer determination I finished Carol. I probably should have given up on her considering how much more extra time she took but I’m glad I didn’t. I love her blends of purples, blues, pinks and even greens and I think I even see a glimmer of determination in her eyes.
