Painting 001

I have prepared tiny little boards this year- not sure if it was such a good idea as they are really hard to work on. No room for manoeuvre and hard not to be too precious. Mmm, we'll see.. I have to keep going that's all. It is always difficult in the first week or so, trying to get to grips with what to do, what to focus on, and I always feel discouraged, but have to try and remember that something usually comes out of the uncertainty.

Two small paintings made on the beach (called the shore in Scotland) so, I have got started... always difficult these first few days. I have got paint, drawing materials, board, paper- where to start? What to look at?
