Flipping thru old folders, I discovered these three pictures. Nothing I havent shown here before. But they do make the point of why Young is such a brilliant sculptor. And regarding the relative lack of depth on this particular paint job, I actually do not regret my choices back then.

This piece is of sentimental value to me as it concluded my life as an undergrad in the charming Georgian town that is Bath.

The eyes look great. Now, when can we expect to see one of these beauties finished?

Thanks Mike. Not in the near term. Yes, I know. I am just as frustrated.

I actually have a very good reason/excuse for not finishng any project I started. Maybe two.

I use this hobby to take my mind off things. I am in a very intense MSc course and every second spent on painting is a luxury. In that it rivals my time for revision, and that it affords me some leisure.

Secondly, I never consider laying paint on a kit as "starting" a task. As such, it does not warrant a "finish". Everything I do I do it to test an approach, a paint or, as I said, to take my mind off things.

The head sculpt above could only receive a complete finish on its own because my degree was finished and there was nothing left to do except waiting for graduation ceremony. A whole month free.

Thanks Carl! Actually I deviated from revision for roughly 24 hours and did this:

I would like to consider this a healthy break.
