After spending so much time of one painting I was pretty burned out. I'm sure it happens to a lot of you. So what do you do if the urge is still there?
After finishing this pig:

I wasn't ready to take a 'creative' vacation. But I wasn't ready to do anything 'heavy' again for quite a while. So yesterday I put on a bunch of Pink Floyd, Leonard Cohen and NIN and cleared my brain, doing this one on auto-pilot.

Is it junk? Or is it viable as art?

It's an exercise, Wats - like a cross-country runner doing warm-ups.
Warm-ups are GOOD for you - but we don't always reach our top speed when we do warm-ups.
(I'd need a vacation after that beast too - well done, my friend, you have stamina!)

i'm no expert, yet that's what I have been given out of it: the two women in those paintings are very comparable. pink hair, common pores and skin, and that they look correct to the comparable age. In Millais' portray, the girl is the only source of sunshine. She is sorrounded by ability of darkness. possibly she is of a decrease type. yet, this is totally almost as though the artist has a forbidden charm to her. She has massive harmless eyes, yet her the perspective of her face, quite forward denotes defiance and rebelliousness. Her finished pink lips and how the lace from under her gown accents her collar bone, very sexy. In Cowper's portray, comparable woman, yet you notice the distinction, She is of a better type. She is sitting up severe above something. The white doves at the back of her tell me that she is harmless and organic. She is wearing a blue coat, which shows intensity and ability. She is gorgeous and demure. observe how the lips are crimson, very candy and new child-like. the two paintings are dazzling. i'm hoping you do properly on your paper.

Mental meltdown reminds me of an old saying..
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy,
Even if we go to the Shining and repeat it over and over.
As for it is junk or art? If you keep it for 10 years and no one buys it after many attempts at selling. Then it’s junk. If it sells then it’s art
Junk and art seem to have no meaning today..
One mans trash is another mans treasure…
