After I had painted the initial picture I wasn’t sure what else to do to it, so I left it a while. Anyway, I came back to it and decided that I would ‘do an Escher’ on an Escher picture, (he used mirrors in the making of his art) and I traced the painting so that I could mirror the image. Now that I have done this I am trying to work out how to link the bridges together. My thought is to mirror the bridges so that they form a loop. I have traced those from my original drawing and I am now trying out various placements. At least I can do this with tracing paper until I like the effect 
This painting is taking ages, but I seem to want to really think this through which is very unlike me. I have also had creative input from the amazingly talented Mac in my art group (he seriously is brilliant) and from lovely Jim.So it's coming along......it may be a few more months until I have anything else done to it at this rate, what with Tam's art class and Kelly Berkey's sketch challenge....talking of which I need to post up my latest attempt soon.
Have a great weekend!

I usually do my best when I don't rush it through. Using sketch paper is the best idea. When I jump in and just start painting, I have to eventually throw it away. Looks like it's going to be great!
