Interlude

Try, try again: This is another reborn painting.  Again, my disappointment in the first attempt was gradually replaced by delight as I incorporated the under layer  into this composition!  I'm still focused on geometry.  I think  this woman has some history, like the piece itself.  Perhaps the destiny of some paintings is to be the fertile soil from which a new painting bursts to life!  I get to be the gardener.  What fun!

Lots of Starts II :  Further to this topic, I recently read an article about a man named Scott Kim who is a "puzzle master".  He actually makes a living by designing logical mazes and brain teasers.  The way he describes it, creating a puzzle is a lot like solving one.  His creative process is helped by taking walks and changing where he sits.  But in the end, he says, "I often find that the amount of progress I make is proportional to the number of times I start."  Timeless advice.  This painting is yet another rebirth.
