Sundrip

I believe I may actually be finished with this piece. The first started off as a nude where you couldn’t really tell if the figure was male or female. I left it up to the view to decide. The second was clearly female with a pink dress and lighter shades of blue. I think it’s obvious the figure in this is female. Anyway, at this point I can give a sigh of relief and put this piece to rest.

Since I save unfinished works all I had to do was look up the right disk and start where I left off. I get kind of obsessive with filing. I have a system. When saving this file I started off with one large folder. Each time I saved the image I did so with numbers and letters. Any copy of a saved file has an X at the end so I know when cleaning out that folder I can toss anything with an X at the end. I don’t have to save that or put it on disk. When I get to about 25 files in one folder I start on a second folder with a second set of numbers. For instance, the file folder for this would be Waiting V3. Each file in that folder starts with WV3 and is followed by a series of numbers to indicate which step the painting was in when saved. Because Picture It Publish It is horribly written I have to save often so I end up with stuff like WV# 1-1, 1-2, 1-2x etc. When cleaning the folder out and getting it ready to save I’ll delete several steps and save others. My little system makes it easy to clean the folders and put them on disk and find the right file later.

I’m sure everyone was soooooo interested in my filing system so I figured I’d go ahead and tell ya how it’s done. You’re happy now right, but something is still missing isn’t it? Your life isn’t quite complete. Oh, I know why, you know my filing system but you don’t have the print. Check out RedBubble for prints.

Thanks for visiting,
