The work is not good enough and I know it.

My work is not good enough.
There. I said it.

Being my worst critic is tough.  It's not easy sometimes to post up subpar work for the rest of the world to either condemn or praise.  But if I'm to be honest here, I want the mindset of pushing my work to the next level, being critical of the work is absolutely necessary.  I've been accused of beating myself over my work, but who else is going to make me realize that last night's painting wasn't good enough?  I'm lucky to have family that knows to be honest with my paintings.  Tonia here, has really wide shoulders, unfortunately, I made the mistake to over exaggerating them.  I'll go back and correct them tonight.  Sometimes time away helps me reevaluate the work and identify problems in the painting.
