What art piece do you need to FINALLY finish?

[PaintBoss]

Oh a friend in the same boat! Well, I will have to go read your post! Maybe we need to challenge each other? Do you think that would speed us up?

This is an Old Master copy of a pope by Raphael.
It was a challenge painting long ago - at least 12 yrs now. I don't know why did I choose this particular painting to make a copy. Maybe it was one of the challenge options. I really need to finish this because I already did quite a lot of work on it. I keep postponing the task.

Oil on canvas, 27x22 inches (69x56 cm).

Can I join the challenge?

 

[PaintBoss]

Absolutely!!! I like that piece of yours. You are close to being done!

 

[Grapes]

PaintBoss, close being done but before reaching that point lot of work expecting on this pope! Where to start!?
Your tree painting looks so good and as you say it looks fab. on the wall so it's worth of trying to finish the areas that trouble you most. Do you know where to start?

 

[PaintBoss]

Oh yes I do. The needles or details on the rocks…..drudgery!!!! Lol

 

[Grapes]

…..drudgery!!!! Lol

Yes, they tend to be. Been there.

PaintBoss, have you started working on your beautiful tree scene yet?
I haven't and I'm progressing so slow with everything. I'm swallowed by paintings to be finished and some waiting to be started this is terrible to live under a painting pile ...

 

[PaintBoss]

No i haven’t. I have been too busy doing work for threads i have been hosting last month and this month. It’s been a lot with my health to accomplish and now with the effects of the fall.
I do have a little pile to finish. The tree/ rock painting being one. My main issue is they are larger works and i have real problems sitting st a table to paint and cannot stand to do paint at all lately. So i am doing smaller works in the meantime.

I need to finish this:

I started it years ago as part of a series I was doing. There's three other pieces that go with it, though I'd intended there to be more. For some reason I just never finished it. Even though I was quite happy with the result so far. That was to be an elephant hawk moth perched on the flower.

 

[PaintBoss]

It’s beautiful. I hope you’ll finish it!

 

[Artyczar]

Still working on this darn thing...

 

[PaintBoss]

Oh, I think it’s going to be great when you finally get it finished Arty! Was there a reason why you did not finish it? Did you lose interest or did you have to do other projects?

 

[Grapes]

TK and Arty, your paintings look interesting and promising to me! I like them!

Thank you Christine. I haven't finished it yet because I just haven't had the time. I'd been working on my solo show (opening Saturday!), and those paintings don't have much to do with this series. Now I'll get back to these...soon.
