Discovering the Ambush

These studies came before the current work. Early attempts to leave a portrait unresolved. To stop before it arrived at anything complete. The painting kept pushing back. Never fully resolved. Never fully arrived at. What moved it forward was discovering the ambush. That moment before thought, before analysis, before the brain engages. You feel it before you understand it.
