Mickey--

I know exactly what you mean about the internal
critic. My suggestion would be to try and take
all the pressure off yourself. Give yourself
permission to paint the ugliest painting of your
life. Maybe just force yourself to do one brush
stroke a day. Try to let go of your desire to
paint something "good", and try to congratulate yourself
for just engaging in the process rather than the
outcome. This is what sometimes helps me.
