Looking back at ‘targets’ - pleasantly surprised. Yes, the drawing fell short but KEEP IT UP!

Studio. Paring back of background - so much better.
Several older sketches transferred onto acetate.
Taking back sense of self / purpose.

Busy day. Symposium followed by Late Night Art - with a piece made especially for the Catalyst Members’ show taking part!
Struck me last night - shifting to more personal imagery and away from portrait after portrait IS what’s needed - but is a tired rendering of them going to yield exciting results? I don’t think so.
A little more outside the box thinking and care required - other than throwing multiple imagery on one plain. Although that is one way to expand narrative quite quickly….

…aiming for a good new habit. BUT there is no point in sulking or beating yourself up if targets are not reached each time. By the same token, there is also little point in setting goals if they are ignored or you don’t try to achieve them. So, do your best but if it falls short of expectations, learn from it and carry on.

… kicking my ass!
“A Brush with Somaya Critchlow”.
Hilarious! RD was hijacked - brilliant! Goldilocks - just right.
… fingers crossed though that once it’s done and out, a real flurry will take place.
