#16 - More Chives than I Know What to Do With

SOLD!

May 6th, 2014: Oil on Board, 6" x 6".  For some reason there are more chives growing in my garden than I will ever use, I always overestimate these things.  It seemed sort of daunting trying to paint all these chives in a bunch when I sat down to do it, until I remembered my latest trick.  Lately, when I've been painting and the subject matter seems overwhelming and I don't know what to do I take my glasses off and view it through an appropriate amount of blurriness and I realize I can actually paint this thing in front of me and I don't need to add every single little detail because I can't see them anyways.  All I know is it's been working for me.
