I loved the blockiness of the vase so much, and putting down the paint in blocks, that I continued it with the pears. This may sound strange, but I've always wanted to paint this way. I'm not sure what happened, but I will say that painting small and often helped a lot. It gave me the freedom to try all sorts of things I've always wanted to try. I think that's the best thing about this whole painting a day "thing", if you use the freedom if gives you, you can pull yourself out of just about any rut!
