Greetings,

Fringe: what I see, what I know & interpretation

There is a battle going between the above.  When I look at the fringe 
I see a convoluted tangle of twistings and edges.  This so difficult 
that I seem to be clinging to what I know: fringe is long, thin, flat 
strips of hide.  My second attempt has failed miserable.  This p-o-v 
is exacerbated by the fact that I'm painting from a photograph which 
is itself two-dimensional.  With most form I try to translate from 
two-dimension to three-dimension with some degree of understanding 
and fortuitous accident.  But for now I'm stuck.  Maybe it's time to 
do a few studies of some actual leather fringe.  Sounds right.

Isn't this like life?  Sometimes stuckness.  How to take what you 
know and what you experience to build a better result?
