Trust your artistic insticts

Many moons ago, I started this painting for a college project.
I loved it, (my instinct was telling me it was good).
My tutors did not.
I battled and struggled, tried to change into something they would like.
They still didn't like it.
I gave up and fell out of love with it.
I left it abandoned and gathering dust.
Every now and then, I'd look over at it and scowl.
But now I look at it and love it again.....except for those stupid bits I tried to change to please others.
So I am going to trust my instinct, put brush back to canvas and finish the painting how I want to and not how others believe it should be.
