People, objects, animals.

This post maybe be boring, so go check you haven't left the oven on.

It's difficult to paint all the above listed. I have been painting water colours in the bath recently. I often find because I use acrylic, that water colour is a difficult medium to use because you don't get a similar chance to repair mistakes. Animals are incredibly hard to paint. I spent a while in the bath earlier trying to paint a rabbit I had as a child. And it was heart breaking and difficult. Once I got to the core of the problem, I had to try and tackle it, but the painting was difficult and it ended up a total mess. Not a painting but a working out it never resolved until it was ruined. Which was interesting. I can't seem to work out non symbolic therapeutic painting. There is too much child emotion involved. To much heart ache involved. So I did some sillier ones to lighten it and go from a different angle. But I've not worked anything out and my heart still aches. Objects are the same, people are just impossible. I'm tired and down and going to sleep.
