Artistic progress.

It is a strange, generally indiscernible process. But I think I could have noticed a glimpse of it today after reviewing the initial fruit of our labors. I know that every sample of one's art is a genuinely unique experience for said artist, which similarly reflects the fickle reliability in assessing observed improvements, but it does tend to feel somehow qualified in this case. Repeatability will be its true test of quality. And that's assuming I actually finish this project in pace with its currently higher-than-usual standard. Ha. Oh, how easy it is to get ahead of myself!
