Recreation

Sometimes you create a piece that you love entirely.  Often these are done spur of the moment, in a hasty frenzy to get your ideas out onto the page.  They are a little bit sloppy and your lines aren't all straight, but none the less you love the piece of art, flaws and all.  Recently I was looking through some of my old artwork and I found a piece of mine that fits all of this criteria.  Since I love the piece so much I decided that I was going to recreate it.  I decided to take my time, put it on canvas, and truly capture it in all its glory and wonder. This process took quite a while and I found myself wondering if it was worth all the time and effort I was putting into the project.  However, once I had completed the new and improved version of my original piece all regrets immediately left and I found myself loving my old and new idea more than ever. Below are both the old and new version of my piece Polar Identity.
