The process of painting

I don't know why, but the thought of starting a painting has always been really intimidating for me. Perhaps it's because I usually don't start with a clear image of how it's going to turn out. I always end up putting off painting just because I don't want to start. When you're painting for someone else, however, you have to bite the bullet sooner or later.

I don't know what was so hard about starting this painting either - Claire did all the hard work for me when she told me exactly what she wanted me to paint. All I needed to do was paint it! In the end, it came out quite differently than I was expecting it to in terms of style and whatnot, but I was happy with the final product.

Biting the bullet:

Getting more confident:

Starting on words:

Finished!

I really like painting :)
