Last Monday I worked painting a live model. I found myself
intrigued by his intense gaze, that along with the austere music playing created an emotional response in me. I found myself caught up and
carried away.
Later on when I came around to my actual surroundings I found certain issues with my piece. I think that the emotions outweighed the intellect in my choices here, but sometimes it is a sacrifice one direction or the other.
I still am intrigued by the intense gaze I found in this young warrior, a mood and passion found, but certain values and execution lost. On rare occasions they find common ground, but not as often as I would like.
