Despite what I want, some things just don’t move quickly. This piece is a good example of that. I have some ideas for it but thus far, it hasn’t not come to fruition.
This is a photo of the piece so it is kinda muddy but you can see the point I’m at in the composition.
I’m still working on a couple of projects and sometimes it seems unbearably slow.
This one is of “generations”. Oftentimes, after I have put a piece aside then returned to it, I see things that must have some attention. This evening I have worked it a little bit so what you see here is where I am currently.
I will be working on all four of the subjects for quite a while longer and then will eventually add another subject to the negative space around and behind the main ones. Stay tuned and see what’s next!!
Sometimes it is like pullin’ teeth to get something accomplished. I’ve been trying to put the finished piece on here but the scan I had done was so huge that my software program couldn’t shrink it down to a usable size.
I also had nine-kinds of trouble getting a print done of the original. But I did finally get that accomplished with much pain along the way. I won’t bore you with that drama.
And framing has been a pain in the neck………….. I guess I can just say the whole thing has not gone according to schedule.
So, without further adieu, here is how the finished piece turned out.
And this is the portrait as it will hang………….
Well, 2010 is done. I didn’t get as far along in this project as I wanted but then there have been other things that have demanded my attention, all of which really does take precedence over this. But I did do a little to it tonight and thought I would share it. Funny how long these things take………..
This was shot with the camera rather than scanned so the overall page seems a lot darker than it actually is. It’s gonna be fun when I really do get to the scanning part because this is one of the biggest pieces I’ve done. (I usually stay around a 17×14 or so…. okay, so I’m stepping out of my comfort zone.) Hopefully, I will get crackin’ on this and get it completed in the next few months…… maybe before wintertime is over.
Thanks for stopping by and please check back again.
