Week 7 ...and a lot

Aaargh!!! I'm feeling so frustrated with myself!
It took me all day today to get started on finishing my still life painting...I'm still not over this flu fully yet but that wasn't the main reason I procrastinated all day! It was that darn goblet!!! I've been avoiding doing it ever since I started this painting! lol ..and today I knew I had no choice...I had to get in there and do it!
In the end though, I didn't give myself enough 'daylight time' to finish it but at least I've now got something that looks sort of like a metal goblet. I'll have to try and finish it tomorrow.
I've also changed the background & 'table like' surface area a little. I didn't like that straight line between table and background. Don't know if doing what I did helped..but I guess it's not
annoying me as much as it was.
Here it is....so far......















Hopefully I might have a finished painting tomorrow???!!! Fingers crossed!

Now to my other 'problem'....
I'm supposed to have found a picture/photo/painting that I would like to paint as my final painting in class (last lesson this Wednesday) but I 've gone and put so much pressure on myself to try and find something that I think looks 'spectacular' that I haven't been able to find anything at all!! So now I don't know what to do..... here I go again!!! Frustrating the heck out of myself!!! I could really give myself a good kick up the backside some days!

...sigh...
Tell me...is painting stressful for anyone else??..or is it just me???

I'm just hoping that, the more I learn, the more confident I will become, and the less stressed I will be every time I paint.

Please please please let that be true!!!!!!
