Waikiki at night
Posted: August 22, 2017
Some paintings take longer than others because I want to get them right. Being a self taught artist, I get hung up sometimes on how to finish a piece or even take the next step. At that point I will put it aside and come back to it hoping it will come to me with a fresh new look later. ...
