Description Here is a spread from my sketchbook. I started the head piece of Capone, my son, on the left during my exhibit up @Calgary Expo last month. I started the sketch phases on the right side of the spread @ that same time but just got around to adding the watercolor tint this past Memorial Day weekend, relaxing @ the Spa @ a resort in Palm Springs, celebrating my one year anniversary w/my lovely wife, Susan. I am grateful to have married an amazing person who allows me to do my thing no matter where we are.(But dont fret...our time together dominated the weekend...not my sketchbook

Anyway, my point here is that you should always bring a piece to completion when you intended to finish it up from the get go; even if it means opening the sketchbook back to that same page somewhere down the line. Not to say as artists we all leave things unfinished, both intentionally and unintentionally, just dont be afraid to go back to something you started so long ago if you wanted to take it to a level of completion when you first started it.

Great bit of advice. I seem to have a problem of not finishing things because i am a little too impatient. My work definitely suffers because of it.

Holy crap I've been watching you for a year. ∙A∙ And what a year it has been. Your son is beautiful, my good sir. C:

BUT ANYWAYS. Those be wise words you be throwin' in mah direction, and I should try to use them somehow. God knows how many sketches are in my sketch book that I've deemed as a "Work-in-Progress" knowing full well I'm never going to finish them. I should get off my butt and do them sometime. :I

Wise words. I have a few unfinished things floating around in my sketchbook as well. Capone is a great subject! Beautifully done. And congratulations on your anniversary! I wish you many more happy years!
