I am doing some paintings at the moment which are out of my normal remit. I don't normally paint figures and i am horribly self conscious about them. But they're quite beautiful to paint (not the finished paintings) but to take part in a story that is happening but isn't. That might not make sense. I can't tell. I don't feel like i should be painting people or figures. I don't feel like I have the calibre. It's quite heart renderingly sad. For me.
