Beginnings ~

More works in progress!! Gee maybe it would be great if instead of starting new works I actually finished the existing ones awaiting completion!! Wow thanks for that insight 'oh critical parent' part of me!!

Ah well, when the urge and desire is there, one needs to respond quickly!! And that's my story so I'm sticking to it!! It's called the creative process !
( Yes and a little self discipline wouldn't go astray either!)

Actually the truth is, it's great to have a few projects on the go at once for a couple of reasons. It's very easy to view one's work in a subjective manner. By putting the work aside for a period of time, a more objective perspective is gained with renewed energy and a fresh approach. Additionally it allows, in cases such as this, for the paint to dry!! Now that is practical!!

The reality is, there are times when I have the burning desire to work in a less structured, more spontaneous method; at other times I want to work detailed and tightly!! All depends on the state of one's thoughts and emotions !!

In this close up image you can see not only the blocking in graphite lines, but also how I'm attempting to use these water mixable oil paints in a similar manner to watercolours, allowing for serendipity!
