You See?

I don’t often “see” my art until much later.

Sometimes I get caught up in the weeds, not really sure when I’m done. Sometimes I get Judgy and need to just stop it!

Usually after I leave it alone for a while, I notice things I didn’t know were there. There’s a spark of personality… a life of its own.

It’s always a challenge to know when I’m “done”. With “I’m Here for Ewe”, I just knew that the first round was enough. With “She Sees” I went back to add stronger shadows, and the black background that’s often needed to clean up a messy edge. “Go Bold!” I tell myself.

Then there’s “Depth Perception” I liked it the last time it was “finished” … but it just kept calling me back. It needed “more”… so I just let it speak to me, telling me where to add more details, more shadows… more Life.

Then there are those that drift away from me over time. A wonky eye… a “meh” factor. They don’t usually end up seeing the light of day.

Like now, for instance…
