Maiko
Monday, June 22nd, 2009 | STUDIO 566
I spent this entire weekend with my neglected girl. I believe she is finished (some tweaking aside, I mean). Here she is. I have been staring at this one non stop for hours on end. At one point I totally dorked something and had to go back and redo, but frustration builds character, right?
I am not sure what I am walking out with this – a Maiko being a Geisha in training (Maiko’s have the white make-up). I wish I had as much talent, intelligence and class. I am not sure if this piece reflects the bittersweetness I tried to communicate. In fact, I only know I was attracted to the concept of the Maiko and the painted mask. “Dance Girl”….
I lost some hours of my life on this – but I have looked at it so much I have no opinion of her any longer. Perhaps some distance… then I’ll be ready to commit. *snort*
