This is a Pulpit Rock on Monhegan, it seems every time I head out to paint this particular rock I find myself flooded with frustration.  Is it because I am looking down at a rock?  The angle is not in my favor?

What ever it is I am doing I find myself irritated and disappointed by the paintings from this location.  This one I didn't end up loving until I got off the island and could see the struggle in the painting and the brilliance behind the moment.  I am not going to say this is what the pulpit rock looks like, but I love how each stroke created the feeling and energy of the moment.
