Wipeout

It is strange, I am in the inevitable purgatory of a piece where your expectations meets reality. Funny enough it is not the paint, not the colour but the simplicity of capturing the objects on the canvas that has beat me. Despite taking time to sketch before so I won't have the technical mistakes, they are still there.

It is simply a slap in the face that I can finesse a tweak so many types of media, but I still cannot capture simple shape and perspective in a piece. How can I own the place, the object the person in an artwork when what I do looks nothing like what I see beauty in. If it was intended to change the image some then It would be fine. But knowing I am simply trying to capture its essence and can't do it. How then do I then add my own artistic spin on what I see or feel.

Somewhere I missed something, a rudimentary skill that inspiration effort and drive cannot help.

In the face of always certain technical problems, I feel that the only solution is a Wipeout. Not just for this project but for all artistic endeavours. I feel I am just dumb enough to start all over again.

It is either this or give up ... but I can't,  love it too much.
