paintcrazy19 That's true, its like looking at both sides of the same coin isn't it. Bob explained it well when he said don't point out the mistakes in your work coz the thing you don't like might be the thing other people like the most. I thought it was just Bob being Bob, offering us encouragement in his usual kindly manner, I didn't really believe it until it happened. A friend came to my home, she said she really loved one of my paintings (its not uploaded here). She chose one I did ages ago that I thought had a really obvious fault in it. I wanted her to have a nicer one so I pointed out the good things about some of my other paintings and suggested she might prefer one of those. Each time I was met with, no, "I want that one", the line made famous by one of my favourite funny TV characters, Andy in Little Britain, and I had to try not to laugh. It just shows how you can't help liking what you like or disliking what you don't. It still makes me smile when I think about how embarrassed I felt at the time and how I didn't have the heart to tell her that the waterfall she admired looked like the Dulux dog. She went away happy with the painting. As Bob says, "painting should make you happy", and it does!
