I feel ya! Every single painting is a blank slate, by the time I'm finished It's like "Ah! Now I know how to paint (this one specific thing on this one specific day)"

Another valley scene! Fall means the return of cloud cover, and with that comes more interesting transitory lighting effects.

Not sure how I feel about this one, but we’re moving on!

A peel ❤️
Idk where I’m at mentally with my art these days. Struggling with all aspects of confidence as a painter and person. It happens, I’ll get through- but profoundly sucks while you’re in it. 🤷‍♀️

Unironically.
This is also why I maintain that a lot of 'rich folks' are not actually rich. They're just tossing around the same 'estimated assets' that I'm not convinced have any actual dollar backing.

And adding imaginary interest on top of those numbers to make 'number go up' in perpetuity.

I’m getting big “artists at a con circulating the same $20 around” vibes but like, in an evil way

Yeppppp. I’m not sure how much power they have in the client/vendor studio dynamic either but it sure makes you feel awful when they don’t have your back.

It’s like—-none of the changes are necessarily that difficult to make? But the sheer nitpicky stupidity of the notes wears ya down! Death by a thousand cuts, I tells ya (that is a doozy though I am so sorry).

I think the exec had a shaky operating knowledge of how reality works.

Laura Bifano @bifanoland.bsky.social · 20d

That's absolutely crazy-making. I'm sorry you had to go through that T__T

Laura Bifano @bifanoland.bsky.social · 20d

Lol this is giving me flashbacks. "The angle of the slide looks too steep, I'm afraid the (UNDERWATER CREATURES BTW) could hurt themselves"
"Please remove the fruit on the counter from the BG. Fruit will spoil if kept outside of the fridge".
God I could go on....

Another peel from a pleinair painting trip to Kananaskis. This one I got maybe 50% done before we got rained out. Had to finish at home.
