a lapse in painters block





its become a tradition thus far that when a friend or family member gets married my gift is a painting. my sister got married in october. i went giftless. for some reason i blocked halfway through the work. i tried working relentlessly the few days before trying to get things done but without painting for painting sake. i am devoted to keeping these paintings in the style of reason..if that makes any literal sense. usually when i do a piece for someone specific the work takes form on its own and its usually symbolic of the individual or my own ideas on the essense of the individual. well for some reason i blocked on my own sister. whom i love dearly and know from the inside to out. this should have been easy but..no progress came. and so, about 4 months later..i am suddenly working it out and without force. so this is what i am working on now, the procrastination has stopped, along with the covering the canvas with fabric(out of sight, out of guilt radar). gift is not yet ready for giving so here are details (just in case the sister really does read the blog)to prove im working and will eventually fulfill my promise.
