Fiji dreaming
28 August 2024
I've mentioned before that it's a cute thing to do to take watercolour postcard sized paper with you on holiday. Then knock out a few simple pictures - memories of your time away. I did just that recently. We escaped to an island in Fiji. These are some of the results.
Four from six

When I finish a poster I hang it on the wall. But this is not about sitting back and admiring my great works (hardly). This is all about making sure the thing is finished - or at least as good as it can be. I've found that you have to hang a picture to really give it a decent assessment. Sometimes it might be six months before you realise that something isn't quite right. Then I believe it's perfectly OK to go back and change things if you decide it improves the work.
I have a wall at home that acts as my poster assessment gallery. They sit on that wall for around six months. If, at the end of that time, I can't see how things could get better (other than to throw away and start again), then they become my "definitive" version. Right now I'm seriously pondering that dark triangular shape at the top of Mondiale Rendezvous. I'm thinking it's not quite right, but what to do about it?
Now to start a great leap beyond the Earth, to Mars, with Archangel II, Mars Line.
