Nothing Fits

I just finished painting number two of seven. This one was sort of an exercise in letting go. Letting my art be as imperfect as it can be; being messy and out of proportion. There's no way anyone can create anything great without failing a few times along the way. I really need to grasp that, because at the moment I just do not allow myself any bad paintings. It's like, if I have the absent urge to paint, I won't let myself unless I have a super good idea that I can craft to perfection. This is really bad, because it kills my creativity completely and brings on way too much frustration, when art is supposed to be something I love.

So yes, I need to let go.
Here's the painting. It's not that great, but I'm posting it anyways!
(The eyes have writing in them, hence why they look weird)
