February 2 2014 . After about 5 tries and nothing was going right i tossed out the lousy ones. Fear is the biggest problem to overcome when painting,at least for me. The fear of total failure I guess. But I purchased another DVD and made another stab at painting. And low and behold things seemed to go right. I painted a double mesa. Could have done better on the foreground ,but I thought i had better leave well enough alone.
