Its a full moon in Sydney, and I feel like shit.  So I decided to paint.  Now usually what happens is I try my usual style, and it comes out like crap, I tear it up, throw it away, and feel even worse.  So much for art therapy. But tonight, I thought I'd try something totally different.  I would paint something that required concentration and fine strokes.. totally away from my usual slap the paint around of the page and ...
