Check Back With Me Tomorrow

OK..........

I'll post pics of what I'm talking about tomorrow.....

I'm struggling right now, I've lost all sense of depth, everything is now flat and I have completely blotted out my under drawing.
( under drawing = what inspired me to put paint on these canvas's in the first place )

Q: Why do I feel compelled to paint on top of perfectly good drawings?
A: Because, I firmly believe in the process. The process that includes the challenge & the chase. The process that demands failure and persistence. It will only reward me after adding more layers of paint & drawing upon more layers of paint & drawing upon............... ( you get the point) The drawings though they were time consuming did not come with much of a struggle.

Obviously this means I had to destroy them with self righteous applications of paint & medium. Each layer bringing the piece to a complete and totally resolved state whole unto itself. A solid image that even though it has become realized is still a hypothetical solution alluding to an end result. I pray the true conclusion is right around the corner and I pray that I can recognize that I'm there before I move on to the next layer.....................................

Thank God my house is so dry, ( who would have thought that the same conditions that bring me poor sleep and chapped lips could bring me layers of wax & oil paint that dry within hours! )
