Discombobulated...

Been crazy busy...don't know which way is up or down! Adding to the malaise is that I'm without an "official" journal. All of my journals are at North Light Publishing for my book! I made a few signatures and have been working in those. I need to bind them into a complete book, but haven't yet decided exactly how I want to do it.

I painted this girl and after I photographed her, I realized her proportions are funny and I need to fix them. For some reason I can see things in a photograph that I can't see when I'm sitting at my desk staring at a page. I will fix her & give you a before & after.

I've learned that about myself, too, which is why I'll photograph sketches while I'm working to check things. Maybe it has to do with seeing 3D as 2D?

I know what you mean about "seeing" in a photograph. I sometimes post things on my blog and then look at them and say, "Eeew. . . that's really asymmetrical" or something similar. But it's all part of the learning process for me. So that's okay.

She looks very cool! Sounds like you have lots of good things on the horizon (book etc)...Just wait for this storm to pass....

Ha Dina! Having your journals at Northridge sounds like a good problem! Can't wait!

I think she is very cool too. Her proportions add interest to me! I know I will love it both ways. Can't wait to see the before and after. A little bird told me some good(no...strike that...)great news the other day! I know you are terribly busy and probably very exhausted. But remember, this too will pass and there will be an end to the rush but it will all be worth it in the end. Your efforts are soooooo appreciated by us. Thanks for all you do.

I 'see' things in the photograph that I never notice in the real thing as well - it must be a perspective thing.

I like the boldness of this - I look forward to seeing the whole thing!
