No 1 seems such a perfect work. Great post...so true..if you class your decision as incorrect on the grounds of the outcome not being a good one..but otherwise it must have been the correct one...strangely enough this reminds me of the multiple parallel universe program that I watched on TV last night..I think I made the decision not to think too hard about it which was probably the correct direction.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rod,
Delete...well, in either universe, I'd say it's not the ability to draw so much as it's the ability to correct well, and to know when to leave it alone.
too much pre-thinking can be dangerous.

Your commentary is extremely timely...and wise! I have read that making art is simply the process of making small mistakes and correcting them. Sure rings true for me--although some days the mistakes outnumber the corrections ;) Excellent drawings!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have always maintained that drawings and paintings are just a series of corrections until no further corrections are necessary. It is all about enjoying the process; if you're not back & forthing it gets predictable and boring.
DeleteThanks for the compliments.
these are wonderful! I love them!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree with you more. Any direction is better than no direction. Eventually you'll figure out where you're going. Great sketches, and love your Bing!
ReplyDeleteGreat words. And so true! Fantastic sketches along with them too.
ReplyDeleteThis works are amazing. Regarding what you wrote, i had this techer once that used to said that we make mistakes, so we can make mistakes better and better. :) The process and carrying out trying is the most important.
ReplyDeleteI like your take on indecision and I really like the drawings as well. I would like to see #1 and #3 together. They would make and interesting pair.
