SIMPLE 1 Picture Of A Picture

This ,a photo of a painting I nearly finished-then stuck behind
the piano a year. My neice Laney,[two now] will be very happy to receive,
on her 10th wedding anniversary,[i have to finish a foot] .I painted

this with
real acrylics
[been doing a lot
of digital lately]
and ,not canvas,
but, on hardboard
[not sure why]. I
took, I don't know,
maybe a dozen shots,
finally snapped one
with all her body parts
in tact.

awwww.... I true gift when expression like this can shine through in a painting. Even incomplete to you it is a masterpiece. One day in art class -- on a day I payed attentiong -- the teacher stressed that true art should not be a photograph and that true art stops in interesting places. I find that unfinished foot interesting.

I am curious if others have difficulty regaining techinque after leaving a project for so long. I am never able to return to the canvas with the same approach that I left in.
