having a back-up frees me up

this was the second pattern i made with these beautiful golden lichen colored branches that i scavenged from the side of a french rural highway. i will post my first effort tomorrow. not to be boring, but to talk about how i work sometimes. i like to do a quick take of a subject (quick and dirty i call it), and know that i have that photo as a fallback. then i can try something fancier with less pressure, and let it be a failure if that’s the way it wants to be.
