SURVIVAL
Survival of the Fittest – Coloured pencil on pastel board
As part of my preparation to start a new theme or as in this case, re-visiting one, I like to work on drawings that I have discarded in the past, preferably related to theme I intend to work with.
One of the drawings I did not include in my Bread exhibition is featured today. I did a little more work on it and I’ll have it on ’standby’ in case I make a sale at my forthcoming Bread exhibition.
I need to get back into thinking bread and by working on past drawings I am able to get into the bread mood.
How do you prepare yourself if you are about to re-visit a theme or commence a new one?
I shall feature another example tomorrow.

I’m not sure I’m capable of revisiting a theme. I tend to work in a phase and then get over it! Good luck with the exhibition – I hope you earn more than a crust …. ^_~

Thanks Gillian, any extra dough at this time of the year is handy! It’s interesting re-visiting an ‘old’ theme. You tend to look at things rather differently, and that’s what keeps one motivated.
