Nearly a year he’s sat there on the easel in my living room, so very near completion but not quite. Painting is always an exciting process in the early stages — the life studies, the preliminary work, laying the initial compositional sketch down on that freshly stretched sheet. As time goes by, however, it becomes more difficult to pick up that brush and continue where I left off. Eventually I lose my rhythm entirely, and the work is mostly abandoned. I’ve been harbouring a lot of resentment toward this little fellow, and I think he’ll stay in the portfolio for awhile — we need a break from each other.
