I actually like this painting I just did. Hardly ever really happy with my work but this is okay

66. Never listen to an artist criticize his/her own work, we are the worst at that

Very good job, it is a very good painting, congratulations. Don't judge your work yourself, allow people who love you and those who you know will be truthful to be the critics, to give you positive feedback. Also, remember that an artist is always thinking they can better what is already very good, run away from that, I have screwed up good painting for trying to make them better.

When I paint a portrait I always have my wife take a look at it and she will tell me about things that I don't see. When she says "good job" I know I have done well.

If I were you I would fire you as a critic of your own work, he doesn't know what he is saying It is a very good painting, lots of character while projecting a very calm feeling. Keep it up, it is a very salable painting, if that is what you want to do with it.
