Only when he no longer knows what he
is doing does the painter do good things.

well, i finally put to rest "out of the burrow" (see previous post). i fixed the areas on the bottom of the piece that i wasn't feeling the love for and at least to me it's much better. now for this piece (above), "along for the ride"...ugh...i have reworked the background more times than i can remember and still am not happy with it! i have a few ideas but need to sit with it for awhile. i won't be entering it in the birds in art show as i feel it's just not up to my standards for entering such a prestigious show.
this seems to be a recurring theme lately...highly dissatisfied with certain areas in my drawings!!

I so admire you patience! Keep at it and I am sure good things will happen.
The drawings look pretty darn great to me Kat, and you have a great deal of patience and persistence in doing them, which is why they look so great =-)
Interesting how you are drawn to the elephant - it is very intelligent animal, as well as persistent...maybe that is the connection! ;)
I love that little bird on top!
I almost always learn something from letting a piece rest for awhile and coming back to it fresh.
I believe your persistence will be rewarded - it shows through in your work - these are beautiful.
I wonder what your elephant inspiration is telling you
....interesting trail to follow!
Your drawing is amazing
and that quote,
so freeing:)
