the progress of Big Foot

'Well how's Big Foot doing?'  I enquired of Johnny.
He inhales slowly, brow and nose furrow into deep creases.  Tension is relieved with a ponderous exhalation.  'Phhh...'  as he considers.  'Well -'
I wait.  He goes through the breathing and furrowing cycle again.  I'm wondering what deeply philosophical insight is about to be revealed.  'I don't know,' he finally replied, 'I think it might be finished - go up and have a look.'

Works in progress

'Don't take a direct picture of Big Foot,' he instructed.  So I backed off and was permitted to photograph Big Foot with companions.  We were in a bit of a rush, so I didn't waste time (in all honesty, if I took a long time, things wouldn't be any better) and clicked away, without really paying attention to the paintings. However, I've really enjoyed looking my photographs of Big Foot.  He is there.  Now how do you do that in paint?

Works in progress

Last night, Johnny informed me that Big Foot is now turned to the wall.  'I think it's finished, but can't look at it any more.  I'll leave it alone for a while and then have another look.  It's best when the painting is finally behind glass, then I can't do any thing else to it.'
