Day 0397

Anticlimactic day -- barely bothered to do an hour of painting, having intended to work all day to get the portrait in a less embarrassing state for submission to the BP Portrait Award; more of a statement of intent than anything, a gesture to myself that I mean to try to be good. But I couldn't muster the motivation to work on it, and gave up and submitted it anyway. Horrid to look back at some of the previous photos of it and to see that I have in fact made it worse over time.
