Update on Studio Work

Here are updated images of my studio work. It's going slow. I had a great meeting with my mentor on Monday and I loved the analogy she gave me about painting:

"Paintings are like a relationship. There is the attraction phase, the courtship, and then issues begin to arise and things start to crumble. The good thing is they are finite, and you can move on to the next one. It's like a serial monogamy."

She got that right. And the relationship with this painting has been crumbling. But we've had a long conversation, (me and the painting that is), and we are committed to working things through. What's left is "work" and I've resolved myself to this fact, to see the relationship through to its logical conclusion, and we're getting there, albeit slowly.
