Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 24
 By Fulford Harbour Ferry Terminal #2
6" x 6" Acrylic on loose canvas
$45

 This is my second painting of this scene for the “30 Paintings in 30 Days” Challenge.  My first one was posted on Day 4.  I think my interpretation on this one is better, it is a much cleaner painting, not nearly as dark and I am much happier with it.

Often when I tell myself that I can do it better if I just paint it again, it doesn’t work and the second one turns out worse than the first.  However, on this one there were quite a few days in between so I was able to look at it through fresh eyes and I had the experience of painting every day during that time.  Perhaps the saying “practise makes perfect” is true after all.  That’s not saying that this one is perfect because I can see many things that could be improved.

I know that there might be some who prefer the first one on Day 4.  Others will prefer this one today.  It’s good that art is in the eye of the beholder!

I’m glad I started painting 12 or 13 years ago.  It was Grandma Moses who said

If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens."
