And so I decided to paint a horse

My first try was HORRIBLE - oh yes! - 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.

Then, a few days later, 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...

14 against the wall. 1 facing out...

16 against the wall. 4 facing out.

Not only did I finally learn about painting horses, I also learned a bit about myself, my fear of failure ((still working on that one), and the value of repetition in expanding my painting skills.
