Where reality meets vision....

And this sadly seems to be where my latest piece of art is stuck. And I hate it. I really try to work past these little "ruts" and keep on plugging away at the piece. What was in my head for this piece looks so far from what I am currently creating it's starting to be disastrous. And yet I can't give up on it. It doesn't really appear to be anything special. Just a mermaid. No great detail, but I want to finish it.
And yet looking at it frustrates me. I've put it down and picked it up and yet can't finish it. Each brush stroke and pencil marking seems to be doing it no good.....and I'm frustrated.

Should I give up? I don't know yet, but I think I will shelve this one for a little bit. Sorry. It seems taht I can't get my hands to quite co-operate with my head. And this is where this piece will remain.
