Painted and painted- progress?

Finished work, went to the gym, cooked, and then spent the next five hours painting. I was determined and inspired.

Yet this morning, I look at the painting and feel as if no progress was made at all. 

I am so familiar with this moment in the process, here is when I get frustrated, overwhelmed, and burned out and feel like giving up. 

This right here is the moment when I must push and continue, because the Magic happens when instead of giving up, I keep going! There is no hurry, no other pressure than my own. 

( I see so many errors now that need fixing! aaaah...windows are not aligned, the awning looks weird... need to work on my brush stroke)


Is going to take a lifetime to get to where I want to get with this technique. According to Doug and ChatGPT this painting is almost done. I disagree, I feel I have still lots to do, improve, fix. 

I’m so exhausted! my body hurts. I brought my laptop to bed. I don’t have any unnecessary meetings today, so it’s okay to work from here. 

I want to spend a few more hours painting tonight.
