Six - lessons learned

Well, Six is the title for my painting, but I'm not thrilled with it. I painted a larger version, intending to cut it down. For the first 12 hours after I painted it, I loved it as a whole, but then I saw all the awful, and tried to improve with a stencil, which ruined it even more (the white blob on the left). I cut it to fit a mat, so that part will be covered if I frame it. 

I got into my head with this one, because instead of just creating to create, I wanted to create a painting for a very special little lady who turned six today, whose favorite colors are pink, purple, and white. The six dots in each of the colors represents different family members (their favorite colors - mine is the lime green). Good intentions but awful execution. Lesson learned. I'll attach the whole below (before I added the stencil - I forgot to take a photo), even though I cringe now to look at it. Ha. 

Tomorrow, I'll try again without the pressure. I hope.
