This one has been occupying my easel and developing very slowly over the last few weeks!
Life has been so hectic for me lately that I have struggled to find enough time to settle and work on it.
Although I enjoy graphite I find it very labourious and time consuming, taking many, many layers to build up the various depths of tone and I am not good at leaving and coming back to work on a drawing without losing motivation, I like rapid results and guess thats why I enjoy working with pastels so much.
All's well that ends well though and today I managed to shut myself away with a handful of motivation and finally completed this one..........phew!
Now I have an empty easel just waiting for a new occupant, looking forward to tomorrow :-)

Beautiful work Kay, don't you just love the excitement of starting a new piece
Gx
Absolutely G...... its even better when my conscience is clear after finishing a lingerer like this one....raring to go now ;-)
Well done Kay - brilliant finish despite all the obstacles en route.
Thank you Sue, this was one of those that almost ended up becoming a chore (if you know what I mean) but had a spurt of motivation just long enough to call it done X
I know how frustrating it is to lose the impetus to finish a piece but I'm so glad you finished this - that expression is perfect!
I guess we all suffer that now and then ......perseverance is the key ;-)
