Chance, Work in Progress. Scratchboard, 5 x 7 in. Copyright 2007, Tania Nault.
Here I am at what I think as the “needs whiskers” stage. I’m almost happy with the variations in light and dark areas, with the variations in texture, and with the level of detail. I’ve learned that when I start getting the urge to put on finishing touches like whiskers, it’s time to stop and set the work aside for a little while. It helps me get a little perspective and when I come back to it, I’m looking at it with fresh eyes.
Which means, of course, that tomorrow I’m doing laundry.
