Work in Progress…
I hesitated to upload pictures of work in progress because I take so darn long to actually finish my work sometimes. For example:
(clicky to embiggen)
The above picture is not a bad example of a piece I’ve started and will likely not touch again for 1-3 months at the soonest. It’s an underpainting constructed of hand made paper, encaustic medium, and oil stick (burnt sienna and burnt umber).
Having constructed the underpainting very quickly I will now stare at it for a long time before I do anything. I’ve added it to a Flickr stream that serves as the screensaver on my computer and the AppleTV so it will be paraded in front of me a lot and considered carefully. I’ll pull out and finish some other pieces that have been on the back burner for a few months and just let this one hang in limbo for a while. Once I’m convinced that the underpainting is solid and that my final idea is sound I’ll probably finish the rest of the work in 3-6 hours.
It’s that long wait that had me worried though. I worried that people would see dozens of half finished works laying about and conclude that I have the attention span of a stunned salmon with ADHD.
In the end, I decided I would rather have feedback.
Here goes!
Update:
The piece measures approximately 20″x17″
