I really don’t know if I’m unusual, well I guess I’m a bit strange but that is a whole other story, but I just can’t stop worrying at something. In the past this has caused me a lot of problems but know I’m able to channel these feelings into more positive endeavours, namely to improve my painting skills.
I have been trying to make an interesting painting of Ms Knightley for an awful long time and some how it never quite turns out. I’ve been at it again this week and here is the start of my latest attempt. I have no idea whether I’ll be more satisfied with this one than I was with my earlier efforts – I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
