I don't really like taking pictures of work in progress.
The work seems so bare, unfinished, unresolved.
Nevertheless, most of the time, this is how I begin,
without a real plan or line to follow.
I mix a soupy mess of paint and lay down some washes.
I walk away, let things settle, and think about what to do next.
I hold my breath a lot, because it can go well
or land in the garbage bin at any point.
All I know is I have pheasants on my brain, ring necks.
I'm working on a pair of them. They are quite large.
Will you ever see them? I'm hopeful.
They are much further along now.
Maybe by the weekend.
I can't promise anything yet.

I love hearing ring necks in the fields, looks great to me.
well, I think that is a really gorgeous beginning and I dont care about the bare, unfinished, unresolved look.
your work only show talented, a BIG one!
have a great day!
But I love seeing works in progress! And this looks so beautiful. I like all the rich shades you are using.
So very beautiful even in what you consider a raw state!
Thank you all so much! I hope to show you the finished paintings soon!
Love to see your work in progress- it's beautiful as it is-xx
thank you dear Annamaria!
It doesn't look like a work in progress in the least. It looks fully resolved with its divine blend of tones and transparency.
Beautiful!!!
I love it! So excited to see the finished piece. Beautiful.
Helen, Heidi, Shelby, thank you stopping by. It's completely transformed - you know how I love patterns. Pictures will be my greatest challenge.
It is strangely comforting to know that all artists go through a process of uncertainty when creating a picture. I love seeing work in progress, so thank you for sharing this picture with us.
thank you Priya! It is so nice of you to visit!
I love your work!! It's very inspiring to me (a graphic designer and illustrator).
