The Creative Process

Found a subject. Image on paper. Too much information! How do I get out of this mess? Keep going but take it slow and be careful. Calm now and I see possibilities. Working nicely. This is awful! Quit! Stop wasting time! Throw it out! Keep going!
Okay. Pastel is down now. I really like the tomatoes. Not sure about the leaves yet. What the heck! I was going to throw it out earlier so I'm going to add black ink and see what happens. Drop the photo reference and go it alone. I think I'm falling in love with this piece. Back to photo to double-check some leaf parts that I can't figure out. Not sure if I like it anymore or not. Maybe I'm kidding myself about this one. This is a whole new style.
