Okay, so I finished yesterday, June 23rd, having made 26 watercolours to be 3 days/ paintings ahead, It's just as well because circumstances at home meant that I wasn't able to start painting today until this evening. Besides, I got up pretty tired this morning and the reverse side of making two pictures I was very pleased with yesterday was that I thought that there's no way I can top that, so what would be the point?
Well, it's not the first time I've felt like this during the challenge. So I did what I did then. I used a bit of psychology on myself, reminding myself that it was really stupid to come this far and give up - and if I left off painting today I would find it harder to do it tomorrow, whereas if I at least made a start I would be much more likely to come back and finish it tomorrow. This will only leave 3 more paintings to complete the set. Also, what I have done this year is, in my opinion, a better set than 2023's. So logically, all these last four paintings need to be is better than the worst four paintings from 2023. That's a far less daunting prospect.
So I spent about two hours on painting 27 tonight. It's not finished but it has momentum now, and I think it's going to be fine.
