A Work In Progress

BumberShootStudio Paintings
A work in progress
Looking at this image, one doesn't see much.  A piece of paper, some vertical lines that are green in color but nothing to impressive here at all. Why the watermark?  My grand-daughter draws better then that, the lines aren't even straight...

To see beyond the now, the potential of what something (or someone) can be is not always an easy thing to do.

I pain to show my 'before' work because I know others do not see what it is I have envisioned.  When I'm painting a piece I have purpose for each step, it does not just happen in one pass of the brush. Depth comes with layers, layers take time and are messy even down right agonizing!  Sometimes I get stuck or make a mistake and think "that's it - I've just ruined everything"...only to find later that my fumble could be used for something beautiful in the overall painting.

When you take another look, try to see the whole picture this time and that 'work in progress' will never look the same.
