Sure, I could see this as a tragedy. But frankly, I wasn't liking how it was turning out anyway. I'm putting this on my blog to show that mistakes are learning experiences.

Thankfully I've been in the giving spirit recently. I didn't want yet another painting to go into the file of regects under my bed. So I decided to give this painting to a U.S Marine troop in Afghanistan. I thought that despite the major flaw, if anybody would enjoy looking at a picture of careless green daffodil bliss, it would be the soldiers in the greenless desert. I chose a special troop that is in need of letters, and I wrote this message to them on the back of the painting:
Giving my painting to people who will enjoy it makes me feel a like all this work wasn't such a waste after all.
Sincerely,
Laura D'Onofrio

I really didn't even see the stain until you pointed it out... even scanning what you wrote and knowing there was soooomething wrong I still couldn't see it. It must be worse in real life because it is a B. E. A. U. T. I. F. U. L. Painting!
BSF summarized my sentiments exactly. It is an extremely beautiful painting. You really show your excellence in form, subject, and especially in how you chose to donate the painting to those who may need it most. Thanks for sharing.
