Duplicate Post of My Singularity Painting Progress So ...
Not sure what was up this morning
but I posted this through @ntopaz and for some reason it said it hadn't posted. Then I refreshed, resigned in tried again and fail, then a third time and it said: "You can only post once every 10 minutes" and I thought, "Odd, I thought it was NOT posting"... Then...Refresh and it showed up twice!
so I erased one
but you can't delete posts on Steemit so it was just an odd 'non-post' and then I felt odd getting votes on it, SO I just put the post back in the body of this post as well. Oh well, we'll see.
It's a little frustrating, as I do put time into my art and then a little time into my post, so now I feel like it's oddly disjointed.
Anyhoo...
here it is again I guess.
- Have you ever had that problem of an accidental double post via computer/site failure?
I love sharing bits of these larger pieces as I work on them
as a fun way to reveal them. In a way I see it as "chapters" in the story of the final piece.
Here is the section I am sharing again, as I'm never sure how it get's cropped above:
I'll share one of the sketches again of this piece:
As per usual to my working on these pieces
I of course made many changes before going to digital oil. I played with colour and added more animals:
I changed up the face and expression
which I shared on one of the last posts about this ongoing painting:
And of course, the last time I shared it I had worked on the little pug on her lap and decided on colour changes for the robotic arm:
I had added an apple in her hand as well at that point, considering the fable of the 'first woman' and the apple in Eden.
I often add more elements as I build up these pieces.
The story continues to grow for me as I work on it over time and contemplate it. In this latest piece shared today, her other arm, I added another butterfly. I have mentioned many times my love of the butterfly as representative of the human soul.
This character, in her post Singularity world, puzzles at the un-peopled place in which she lives.
Surrounded by the old human companions of animals, she often contemplates her own loss of Humanity or even what Humanity may even have been. Thus, the use of the butterfly as representative of the human soul is a symbolic way to play with that idea of lost spirit of the Olde World.
I hope you're enjoying the continual growth of this piece
as much as I have been enjoying returning to it. Once I came to grips with my yearly acceptence that I'd continue to work on as many Singularity paintings as came to me this year, I have enjoyed them all the more.
They shall run in tandem with my usual Graphic animal pieces
which I can create a bit quicker and have more of a feel of 'finish' to them as I begin to lay them out. Something the more involved paintings of the Singularity world does not have. Their more 'open ended' dead line allows me to really delve into them, whilst the graphic animal pieces feel more the 'bread and butter' of my art work.
The duality of these two art paths for the year seem the best use of my creative time.
One path, allows a bit more of the dreamer and procrastinator, whilst the other gives me enough satisfaction at finishing pieces hopefully in a week to put out into the world for sale on things and as prints.
Perhaps this twinned path is my best way to approach Art and digital living at present,
who can say?
And with that, I'll close here, as I've more to do to finish my latest two animals in chairs and another sketch on the drawing board. I am also excited to think I shall soon be back at my beloved Toad Hall and begin planting some seed. When I am not thinking of art, I am dreaming of my garden and chicks and quail and the sea.
I hope you get a moment to dream today and possibly set aside some time to work on creating that dream.

So exciting to see all the beautiful details coming one after another Donna:)
Dont worry about the twinned path, i think most of us are walking on it, me for sure.
Actualy is the only path in my opinion, unless you win the lottery,lol!

Join nTopaz Discord ChannelThanks @georgeboya and yeah, unless a lottery win comes along, the double path works best :) Although, I do honestly love my more graphic pieces as well. In fact I'd probably still have the conundrum of many versions of art to create were I to be better set up.
"Have you ever had that problem of an accidental double post via computer/site failure?"
too many times I would say, hehe
This is coming out really nice Donna <3

Oh, thanks @melooo182 and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has accidently double posted. It really shows the permanence of the block chain, though and that we are creating elements on it, as we cannot take away a post once it has been made, it has an almost 'real world' solidity to it.
Hi Donna! We have entered your publication because we liked your drawing a lot and we have finished reading every word you have written on it. We find it fascinating that only a fragment of your drawing looks so beautiful, we can not wait to see more part and of course the finished work. It is very sad that you have had problems with the platform, thank you very much for being patient and publishing.
Our favorite part of the fragment of your artwork are the tones you are using, the position of the hand and the delicateness of the butterfly. We sincerely respect your work, they are incredible.

Gee thanks @cafeconleche that is so kind! No worries, I thought I'd done something wrong, I just didn't want it to seem like I was duplicating a post, but I couldn't delete it, so I thought I'd better add an addendum on one so it was clear :)
I love!!! this for sure is something incredible which I hope to see finished soon!
Do not worry, the double publication has happened to me many times and in my case it is always the fault of my Internet and now I check before publishing again in case it has been published.

It can be frustrating when this happens, but it's tech so sometimes there are glitches. This makes me always worry about things like driverless cars and such, what happens whey they glitch? Oh well, tech is just part of our lives and the reason I'm able to chat with you now so good over all :)
Heheheh you are right if this did not exist, I could not see your works and those of others.
I'm not saying that technology is bad, but I think we can use it, with consciousness.
because it brings us closer to many people, but it also distances us from others because we are always connected.
although in the future everything will be technological.
Although for Venezuela instead of progressing, we are going backwards. I think we'll get to send messages with birds to communicate all of us and instead of cars we will use horses.
I could not answer before for being without light and without internet!
Every piece of your art is beautiful with many refined details. That make me curious to see the whole big picture.

Join nTopaz Discord ChannelThanks @livvu I love making them. I think it's kind of a fun way to share it, as well. I mean I am still creating it, so I really don't even know yet what the final piece will be, but it's fun to share bits as they are created like a story chapter by chapter :)
The error messages on user front ends are usually mostly to completely useless XD One of the early things I learned on here was that if you get a stupid error and it doesn't look like it's posted, copy/paste the post somewhere else (text editor or something) and refresh, as sometimes the error is triggered because of some timeout thing somewhere else but the post did actually post because reasons that may or may not be related. If the post hasn't magically appeared after then it's safe to try posting again XD
What was odd @ryivhnn was it didn't post, I had another window open with Steemit and even refrehsed it twice and it didn't show up so I thought, well try again. And I did and refreshed the steemit window still nothing. Then I closed both windows started fresh resigned into ntopaz and it then it said I'd already posted. Oh well, no big, I jut don't want it to look odd on my feed, oh well, that's life, eh?
Hm, maybe you were posting during that short time period where things were being glitchy. I went through a period where I was just doing my upvote spatter cannon thing and nothing would work because the blockchain was being slow or something (according to Partiko XD).
Don't think too much harm was done :)
As always I love your work such beautiful details
Thank you so much @tattoodjay. I'm having fun with this one.
Looking forward to seeing it as it progresses
So soft and delicate; reminds me of the peace I need to make in my soul
