I don't have much time otherwise to indulge in online activities these days.

Pathfinder from [link] has been a glorious distraction in the meantime, and I kind of took a mental pause from art. As you can see on my ID page, I finally completed part one of Kali Ma, and I should soon get going on part two.

A bad digital camera battery charger and a virus that infected my wife's computer put a nice stumbling block to delay some uploads of my work. I'm grateful I got at least one image this week. I could have had another today, but it became a massive file, and I need to cut it down (my photoshop has been taking me about an hour per image to modify its setting to make it fit the DA standards for resolution), and I ran out of time last night.

If I get my shipment of more supplies from Utrecht tomorrow, I hope to add the remaining layers of primer to my new prepped canvasses tomorrow and throughout next week, and next Saturday will still be possible to actually begin painting!!

I'm truly honored to witness such amazing artwork constantly here, to be on watch lists with talented artists, and to receive wonderful comments.

I'll check back Monday, hopefully, and may everyone have wonderful weekends!!

Monday, I will get lumber supplies and arrange the support for the canvass and prime the hell out of it all week to be ready by the weekend to begin whenever the other areas of research and development are finished (or I grow impatient).

This has been an idea of mine since about 2005, but I never had the money, storage/working space, or time for it until now. Perhaps it's a good thing since many aspects to it have evolved, including the title.

Perhaps the most exciting part will be the frame, which came to me last weekend. I feel final presentation should be considered before any work begins, and I will make a frame consisting of cow hooves. Some of the black I will use will likewise come from my own mixed pigment of linseed oil and ground chicken bones (the paint has been prepped and ready since about December).

I'm considering this piece as a personal challenge, and I have been investing a lot of energy in it.

These will be very rough charcoal and graphite sketches. For each head, I only allowed an average maximum time of 45 minutes to complete. In this stage of my life, and due to the nature of this image, my impatience will continue to be the primary challenge for me.

I also chose male, primarily Western heads only since Thugees were renowned to exclusively kill men. I could have included more figures or renown worldwide, but I felt prominent historical figures of the West hold a particular sense of interest to me of those that would present more impact as a decapitated head. My wife wanted me to include Rasputin to my contrariness, so I will simply make a sketch with him isolated and bigger at another time.
