I also love seeing the sketching process! How long does it take you to do a piece?
This one is thought provoking.

In some ways, I find New Years a little bit scary, it’s the fear of the unknown, of not only all of the good but also the bad that happens in a year. I suppose those are my dark curtains to climb through.

I think I know why you wanted to leave the tracing paper over the clouds. I often look at a work in progress through tracing paper, or even turn it facing away from me against the light to view from the back; the obscured detail somehow lets you see it in a new way. What you have done takes what I like to do to a new level!

Thanks everyone, for the kind comments! And to think, this piece came “this close” to having a bear in it. I still don’t know why (but I had the best bad pun in mind…maybe next time).

Thanks moverlow! I enjoy the process so much, I always want to share it. One of these days I’ll try to show more of it…a bit tougher to show than computer art or even painting, I think. So much happens away from the final work.

Whoa, very, very cool. Intricate cut paper like yours just blows my mind. Thanks for sharing the process!
