If only if was always this simple pt.2
Ok, so my batteries in my camera died a while back and let's just say that I've just gotten around to getting new ones. Obviously, I don't have a lot of pictures of the process of this piece, but I'll provide these two for your viewing pleasure.

At this point, there's a few little things left to address, I think knowing when a piece is finished can be the most difficult aspect of art. As they say, 'Projects are never finished, only abandoned', of course, one must be aware not to overwork a painting. A good rule of thumb that I learned from a fellow artist and friend Tyson Snow is to photograph your work in black and white and see what tonal problems arise. Right now I can tell you that by so doing, I've discovered a few spots on this piece that demand my attention. After all that, I still have to come up with a name for this...any ideas?
