I just wasn't happy with where i arrived after a round of thumbnails in my last post. I had a feeling of uneasiness with the thumbnail I said I liked the best. Over time I've learned that if something does not feel right, listen to my instincts, go back and rework. I think what happened is that I lost my vision as the weekend came to a close, and I just became sad and worried that I would not have time this week to make progress on my project - so out of frustration and fatigue I made a decision to move ahead with a thumbnail that was not the best one.
I let it swim around in my subconscious for a few days and came back to my drawing board tonight. Somehow it seemed easy to work out the design issues I am seeking; this thumbnail has a good flow. Although some of the elements at the top of her head might be a bit too symmetrical and busy, I can adjust to make it work. Over all, this is the feeling I would like for the "Spring" painting. Now I can move forward knowing that I have worked out some important ideas and arrived at something that feels good.
