It is quite predictable that when something has to be completed a wealth of ideas appear begging attention.This is similar in a way to the affliction Viv describes, I'm sure it's all part of the same family, its only purpose to torment us.The house has been quiet tonight, at least I have been in a quiet part of it and though I have mostly been occupied with essay writing there has been some opportunities for reflection.Having other demands to butt up against, as it were, does mean that a very keen sense of achievement can be gained, when it finally comes back together.
So I have been giving some thought to the advice Karen gave me, making different, smaller things.The idea of head brooches prompted me to do a little cropping to see how that might be.
Not quite as literal as this but it did serve to remind me just how much I love painting faces.And then I was reminded how I'm aiming to draw more (my sketchbook is strategically placed next to my couch, along with pencils and wool and needles etc, you never know what you might need to do).
Whilst frustrated, I am becoming more relaxed with having to wait a little to start.It's a little like getting ready for a journey, I have some of the things I need but not enough to set off.
These quiet, calm faces should help me to focus.Failing that I'll just have to knuckle down and finish the essay.
Only 700 more words before bed.

Your faces are indeed compelling. I think brooches might be something to consider.
N ~ your work is so exquisite, there should be a constant stream of your beautiful work in whatever shape or form out there for the world to appreciate....but in the real world....I hope that you can find a way through to take the time to create.
Your faces are wonderful. I'm about to start essay writing.
