Lost My Spark...

Been painting this painting again and again and again since the summer.. i dont know how many times i scraped the paint off the canvas and started again.. its been a frustrating journey where i still havn't found the end. I asked Paolo if i could paint him in the summer.. and i have been apprehensive in posting the result.. since this is where i have got, which is not great.

 

I feel that i have lost the part of me where i can capture the essence of the person on canvas.. or on paper.. there use to be days where i could do that with ease..

i just thought i'd throw this image online.. release it into the world.. even though i havnt called it "done" yet.. there are many layers to add on..

 

Too many psycological things happening, which strangely affect the way i work these days.. energy is somewhat down, i dont have the spark that i use to, its hiding somewhere.. somewhere in the night bushes.. i have to find it fast befor i lose it for good..

Done
