A minor setback...

So, I was nearing the end of the second drawing of the "Reasonings" series and I noticed that it wasn't pulling me in as much as I had hoped.  It wasn't really a surprise to me.  All along I had felt the pose wasn't what it could have been, that there was more to it that I was missing.  Even a year ago I felt this way but I thought maybe it would come together as it progressed along.  I didn't want to make a final judgement based on a drawing that wasn't even a quarter finished.  But now that it's in the final stages I feel like the middle piece will greatly take over the two sides and that was never my intention.  In a triptych such as this I feel each piece must be looked at as an individual as well as a piece of the whole.  As much as it hurts to begin again I feel I have no other choice.  I went against my feelings for too long on this piece and this is the outcome.  I hope it acts as a reminder to trust myself more often.  I'll be shooting new reference photos for the side pieces and will start fresh.
