You're very kind, Sharon. I, too, have been scraping of heads for the
past week and, you know what, I came to the conclusion that I wasn't
dissatisfied with the painted head so much as with being excited about
what was going on in the scraped off head. So I left it in it's scraped
off stage, with just a few marks here and there, and it became an
impression of light of a figure more than an actual solid figure; a sort of
after-image on the retina, but in the normal positive colours. I am
so excited. It opens up a lot of possibilities and since it is all
about light (and not about a solid, rounded object), when an area of paint
just works as paint, even though it may not be describing the body's
contours correctly, I have a very convincing excuse to leave things as
they are. I'll post it when I've done the hand (I am so bad at hands!).
I have looked at your work a number of times when my painting's going
wrong thinking that I'll never get to your level of competency.
There may be other replies also, but you will not receive any more
