In order to study the progress
I've made on a painting when I am not able to be right in front of it,
I've gotten in the habit of taking a digital photograph after each work
session. And while this has been a very useful tool, it also makes for
a fairly interesting slide show where you can watch the piece progress in each subsequent photo.
This is the third lock in a series of five or six rusty/shiny
locks that I am currently working on; this one was finished at the end of August
2005. This is my favorite of the bunch, at least so far.
