to get this finished before Dec 24. I am feeling it - even though it is all self-imposed. I keep trying out different excuses in my mind as I paint, reasons to delay it so I don't have to hurry through. Being a beginner at painting is really rearing it's ugly head and I haven't any techniques to draw upon apart from some of the You Tube videos I've watched. If anyone out there has taken an on-line acrylic painting course (preferably portraits as opposed to landscape) I would love to hear from you! I am also open to any suggestions!
Arrrgggggg....I think I need to take a chill pill. I swear I've worn out my husband asking him to tell me what's right and wrong. Damn insecurity. If I were the type of person to be more gentle on myself, I'd give myself a pat on the back for getting over the dreaded fear of a paint brush that has plagued me for 3 decades. Oh, I know, everything WILL be OK. :0)

What are you worried about? It's beautiful! You have done a wonderful job on this. What an awesome gift!
For me personally, I don't like working with acrylics in this way. They dry to fast for me. I love oils so I can play around and blend them and if I don't like it I break out the mineral spirits! But like I said you done a beautiful job!
I love it, sometimes I think we are our own worst critiques. I think this piece is amazing, trust your heart. have a happy holiday and may all your
dreams come true. hugs.
These self imposed gremlins really don't help, do they?! Your 'Scout' is fantastic, and you've very nearly finished her - you KNOW, deep down, what you've got to do to finish it so grit your teeth and GO FOR IT! Your daughter will be so happy!!
