When I first started painting, I wanted very much to be right. My paintings were carefully executed. The work needed to be accessible and relatable in order to be “good”.

How do you finish a painting? Deadlines force us to make decisions, and they sharpen who we are as artists.

Drawing from a photo? Turn it upside down and see if those shapes aren't just a little bit more obvious when you don’t know what you’re looking at.
