This is just a little note I'm writing about the beauty of the art world. Art is a matter of taste and preference. Some of the pieces that I have done that came out absolutely wrong in my eyes are favorites of people I know. My family has quite a large collection of my discarded and rejected pieces- even ones I actually threw away in frustration and disappointment. When I visualize a piece I want to do I have certain expectations of how I expect it to turn out and when it doesn't get there I automatically think its trash. I don't expect everyone to love every piece I do- I hate half of them because they didn't turn out the way I wanted.. a perfect example.. Marty's frogs and crab. The crab only had one eye- I didn't notice this until I had already posted it after a 12 hour day- and the habitats got lost in the background color as they were so similar. I haven't given up on it- (The crab now has BOTH eyes.. ;), but it is for someone special so I will continue to devote more time to it. For future reference.. I seem to routinely MISS things- such as the case of the horses without the tails.. and if anyone does notice a missing eye, leg, arm or other important appendage please feel free to inform me. I promise I will not be upset- I will be grateful! ;) Happy painting to all.. Sandy This little horse was rescued from the garbage and is now hanging on the wall of someone I love! ;)
