I love watching your progress, and I think the finished painting is going to look stunning, its such a interesting concept and tells such a huge story even before you do read the poem, its like a multi dimensional painting that can be seen in so many different ways. I love it<br /><br />xxx<br />shereeRaven Moon Magichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974930102676300356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960060657339262513.post-87707843283845641982011-09-29T03:04:02.411+08:002011-09-29T03:04:02.411+08:00Beautiful, really beautiful.Beautiful, really beautiful.trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991672363435843464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960060657339262513.post-4307038416802820822011-09-28T17:25:20.413+08:002011-09-28T17:25:20.413+08:00The greatest of all fears is the fear of being afr...The greatest of all fears is the fear of being afraid.<br />Well done - she is a beauty.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12080901829769518870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960060657339262513.post-38007372309421605282011-09-28T17:23:38.685+08:002011-09-28T17:23:38.685+08:00such a beautiful piece Christina! love those exqui...such a beautiful piece Christina! love those exquisite points of the ears on your wolf and about the layers I think of traces & palimpsest & how really it's all in the process, loving it even when it frustrates the hell out of you, like any passionate affair... & how long does a work take to make? as long as it needs... that's how it goes... some dream things take years to get right some take seconds and are perfectly formed at the point of delivery... as makers we don't really get a lot of say in that, just have to work 'til it's done!Mo Crowhttp://itscrowtime.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960060657339262513.post-85622695792200323432011-09-28T16:28:28.095+08:002011-09-28T16:28:28.095+08:00MIA- as others have said - a stunning work - and t...MIA- as others have said - a stunning work - and thanks for sharing the development process; and of course I love that you have incorporated the poem as textures as well as text.

Also, it's sort of comforting to find someone else has the same dilemma -- I do the same thing, adding loads of detail at each stage which will always be mostly obscured with the following stage. Like you, I'm always wavering between feeling that I get a better understanding of the piece and the feeling that I am just giving myself a lot of extra work. Ah well... so there are at least a couple of us out there, lost between the layers of paintings!yew tree nightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159879472613574800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960060657339262513.post-57340043347134717142011-09-28T04:14:33.092+08:002011-09-28T04:14:33.092+08:00She's looking amazing, I really love this!
