I've begun my second work in my newest series, in spite of some very strong forces externally that seemed to be in a cosmic conspiracy against it--that's partly a joke, and partly true, like most humor.
Noelle was a reluctant model/specimen...she doesn't like being observed much, as it makes her feel self-conscious, at least more so than a fourteen year old would normally feel...but she has been good about it. I have also obtained permission from a few of the teens she kicks around with, although rather than a direct study of them, they are more of a "phantom" study...as much of this work is being done par coer/in studio, rather than on location...lots of studies on location, but no real direct, finished work.
I am pretty charged up to move through this series...it's exhilirating to begin it...like embarking on a new love affair! I like to shake off the old, and move on to the fresh, new thought processes...and getting those thoughts and feelings thoroughly translated onto the canvas.
So, I may post some photos as I progress along, but, in all honesty, that is not likely. I like nothing, and then all...as I usually operate in the opposite very well; I have that down.
So, dream exciting, earth-shaking dreams....I know I will.
