Progressions.

Still working on it. It's been suggested that I add the tail end of an Angel wing to the right side of the picture, peeping out from behind the robe.

Also trying to consider placing an item on the engine block. I'm just not sure.

I'm working so much on this that I'm wearing my favorite brush down. I've realized that when I'm happy with the results of what I'm working on, I can stay up to all hours busy with it. When something about it seems un-fixable or incomplete, and I can't see how to finish it in a satisfactory way- it goes into the slush pile. To be prodded with a stick occasionally.

Hence, I did not even work on my English 100W paper comparing two Art Deco Vases. Which is kind of okay, since I really wasn't interested anyway, and no amount of persuading will get me to do a good job.

Maybe I'll work on the paper tomorrow morning. All I really want to do is paint. I can't remember ever feeling like this about something I've been in charge of from start to finish. This isn't a class painting with any dictated subject matter- this is just ME PAINTING. And goddamn, it feels good.

Double the Trouble

These two belong together as a Diptych for Intermediate Painting. I am really happy with the "Earth" portion of it, at bottom. Less so with "Air" but I'll keep throwing paint at it until it gets better.

Better pictures soon, once I get them into sunlight and find a good non-glare angle.
