It has gone up in flames...another conflagration, a sad moment where I just realized I got off the track and was just mucking it up, and the design was unsound to begin with. Funny how these things go: there is something about certain designs that I just don't feel comfortable, and no matter how much I work at them they seem to self destruct. Other works fly out in a flash and are completed in a matter of days or weeks (which is pretty fast for me). Well, I've got 4 failed drawings in three months. Though I shouldn't necessarily say failed, as I am getting a good handle on the brush, and enjoying the process very much...just would be nice to have a final 'roduct' to show for all the work. Resolved to play out my grudges on A4 paper from now on, at least until I get my rhythm back. These big works I've been trying to do just get out of hand. In absolute contradiction to how I used to work, I am now feeling that going too long on one piece seems to 'kill' the inspiration. I just get locked up in it, and lose the original impulse. Going to cut out one section and post it though, just for fun...

Looking forward to the final scan of the Perseus piece. It is looking fantastic. Quite an ambitious undertaking...

Back to the drawing board for me...
