Am I being indecisive? I'm not so sure!

What do you think of my latest work?  I am not sure, in fact the whole month has been one of indecision and procrastination.
I didn't originally intend to draw the boy,  but once I had painted the background then I loved the white empty space where I had left room for him.  But it was not clear as to what he was.  So I thought I would draw him in to give him that much needed clarity, instead of painting him.  I wont change it now but I am still undecided if I like or not.  Someone described it as looking like a ghost of a boy and that made me feel sad and maybe thats why I cant warm to it?

Remember this??

I loved doing it and had planned on doing a series of items on beach,  this was to be the next one,  

Seaweed, only it isn't...... as I painted over it, I really disliked the background it had no real substance, and the colour was wishy washy and  trying to change the background I ended up loosing my temper with it and painting over the whole thing!  Opps!!
I then  started painted peddles on a beach instead,  but I didn't like the colour and it seemed empty and boring

So yesterday I painted over it again!!! (sorry about the rotten picture,  hoping my new camera will come soon)
Its going to be driftwood on the beach,  well that is if I don't loose my temper again and paint over it

And this is one of the reasons I like watercolours,  once you have committed then there is no going back and changing your mind,  which I do a lot!  Thats the problem with acrylics,  I just slap paint over it and start again and goodness knows when it will get finished....if it gets finished

I am hoping when I get in the studio later I will be inspired to carry it on,  but more than likely I will dust and clean and put painting off as long as I can!

I did do one good thing I bought some acrylic inks.  I have only used them once so far but I think they are going to be good to work with, especially when I am in the mood for bright colour .  This was my test piece.

I should really work some more with it and see what I can really produce,  i m hoping it may loosen my work up a bit. Lets Hope March is a much more proactive month...
