Wow, this was a learning experience once again! A day in the studio, a day of appointments and errands, a morning of errands, and poof. I looked at the mural and worked on my book. (More on that subject will be revealed in the fullness of time.) I looked at the mural and returned some phone calls. I looked at the mural and worked on an oil painting. I looked at the mural and just sat there with Zeke. I looked at the mural and thought. Good grief, what is going on here?? Finally, I made a decision to detail the rocks, because what I REALLY wanted to do was go into the studio and draw. Once I got started, I realized the light was getting a little low. Nope, this would not become another excuse, so I pressed on. Then I realized that I was missing music! My neighbor needed her boom box back, so I very guiltily carried it back over. This leaves me with an AM radio that buzzes and fuzzes. Is music that important of a motivator or is lack of it just another excuse? But here is an improvement: I set it all up again, this time in a stable position where the 2 current panels are actually touching. Why it took me so long to figure this out causes me to wonder if I am slightly simple or mentally impaired. Never mind, here, just look at the mural:
It only appears as if the panel on the left doesn’t match the ones on the right because it is sitting behind the 2 that are on the right. You can also sort of see my sketch and a few of my zillions of reference photos on the floor.
