So yea...its been a little bit...still working on my doll....though the heat this summer has been so oppressive and gross....getting inspired is slowing to a harder crawl than usual....trying to keep the momentum going I decided to start another painting...and since the larger ones are proving to be problematic for me...due to mostly my lack of confidence...I decided to go much MUCH smaller...and this way I can produce more work (hopefully)..and have more control over the space I am working on....trying to become inspired I always have in my head I never want to be over influenced by someone elses work it ends up in my own...so I went back to the basics and started with a photo I did in college and go from there....so far I am somewhat happy with the results....although I have always been better at doing animals than people...its proving to be a little struggle...but I am trudging through it determined to become better at this craft...again...I just started so view with gentle criticism....
