A new year

Well... here's another incrementally small installment of what's going on with this work-in-progress. I realize that this may be a less-than-exciting post; but it is an interesting twist and a reflection of my creative process. I added another transfer to this composition. I had thought that it "needed" something more than what I had already put down -- maybe for balance. I was tempted to simply leave it the way it was, and consider it finished. But instead, I "messed" with it (I wish I hadn't). I don't think it helped with "balance". In fact, I think it had the opposite effect, in a way. The transfer also left a bit of a ghost outline, which detracts from the transfer effect. I'm not sure now, what I will do to "remedy" the situation. I certainly am not satisfied with it the way it is. I have some ideas -- so "stay tuned". This isn't exactly the way I wanted to kick off the new year... but I am still excited and hopeful for what I think will be a great year of creating art (and music).
