I think I underestimated this challenge... Today is the 9th day and I have 2 finished paintings *of which I'm happy with* and 2 other semi-finished paintings *of which I'm not really hmmm... satisfied* but the point is that I tried..
I ruined *and then tried to fix* the last 2 paintings.. and I know why.. because I need to paint when I really don't want *or not in the mood* to paint.. and the quality is dropping and this is the last thing I would like to see in my drawings... coz I know when I draw or paint.. it's like I'm drawing a part of me.. so it has to be good and I have to like it before anyone else does...
For now, I will try to produce 1 painting per day, now lets see if I can stick to this simple plan..
One thing to remember is to take care not to end up hating what I like to do.. just to win the challenge... *merci for the advice*

*a whisper in the dark*
You're my strongest motive to keep going in this challenging challenge ^^... For the first time I'm starting to have second thoughts whether I can do this or not.. I still think I can but only with you on my side.. You impress me with your positive attitude toward this project and you get me motivated so easily. so a big MERCI goes to you..
and remember: “Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They're what make the instrument stretch-what make you go beyond the norm.”  and we shall “Accept the challenges so that we may feel the exhilaration of victory.”
