I really struggled with this painting.  The teacher kept coming over and telling me what to do to make it better and it made me frustrated.  My brushes, my paper, my sketch were all frustrating me.  Watercolor is hard.

But there is another way of looking at it.  I could enjoy the learning process, have grace for myself when my art doesn't measure up to my standards.  I want to enjoy the class, not walk away frustrated.  Good life lessons in the school of art.
