It MUST be the stars!
Well, if I didn't know better, I'd say the stars or the moon must be out of place or ... or the ... let's see, what else can I blame it on? I am currently working on a posthumous commission from a very bad photo. I have painted out the face at least 5 times, changed the background and have been working on it for over a week. I've thought about just saying that I can't do it, but the man who asked me to do the painting just lost his wife, and with tears in his eyes, asked me to please paint her portrait for his daughter. The fact that he said he would pay whatever I wanted was a little incentive. And, are you ready for this: all of the photo references show a full smile, were taken with a flash in the sunset in Hawaii. Oh, yes, and the husband is in the painting too. Yipes! What a timely discussion. At least I know that you experts and wonderful painters get frustrated, too.
