I did this drawing three years ago and never had the opportunity to finish it. It was lost in the fire that gutted my house. Seeing it makes me want to recreate it and bring it to life again this time finishing the background. I know it will not be the same as the first but there is joy in creation.
There is a satisfaction that comes from finishing an art creation as if somehow something magical had come into being. At least it feels that way to me. I have many more pieces that had been finished that are now only ashes. I look on this as my Phoenix project.
