"Be busy does not always mean real work.
The object of all work is
production or accomplishment
and
to either of these ends there must be forethought,
system, planning, intelligence,
and
honest purpose, as well as perspiration.
Seeming to do is not doing."
THOMAS A. EDISON
This quote is something I am applying to my work these days...
"I AM DOING!"
29 Faces In May
Yes... I am back on track!
Completed Face # 16.
I will upload a photo during my next posting, I promise.
I really wish to stay focused, complete one painting per day.
Getting caught up.. was work, honestly!!!
I realized...
I do not wish for my paintings to suffer.
Meaning...
that they become a mass of production; work without feeling,
then lose what creating them was all about.
Solution...
try my best to not get caught behind!!

This is what I am working on today.
I thought I would sketch this face out on a map.
Interesting background, don't you think?
Also, a sneak peek at Face # 16, there she is... in the background.
Enjoy.
Happy Thursday!
Very good background, looking forward to seeing it finished! Hugs, Valerie
