......getting it right

One of my biggest challenges in painting is getting the subject right.  Define right...well, initially it is proportion and perspective.  These are the hardest things for me, and I struggle throughout the painting to get them right and keep them that way.  Below is an example of my pretty constant battle, his hand is too big, and should be level with his shoulder, but WHOA, it isn't. I have wiped this section out three times....now I see that his upper arm is too short.  Why do I continue to fight this problem?  Because that's what we do, right fellow painters?

You are seeing this mess by my invitation, I hope it makes you smile!

Have a good day,

Cindy
