Another Set of Fraternal Twins

My fraternal twins postcard, one of my favorites, was mailed weeks ago. Since I've been working on a few larger than postcard sized collages,  I wanted to do another fraternal twins image.  I was thinking of it late last night when I couldn't sleep  (refreshing to lose sleep because of too many ideas rather than obsessive worry about nothing!)  and this morning,  one of the networks aired a short segment on Chuck Close.

Mr. Close said one does not need inspiration...one just needs to get up everyday and work and, and if necessary,  do the same thing as the day before,  and keep doing it,  and eventually something will happen.  (Okay, this is just what I,  personally,  heard from Chuck Close.)  He gave me permission to revisit and revamp images that I have done already...because eventually,  they will be where I want them to be. 



As for my second image of fraternal twins...I think I liked the first one better.  I started this with a much darker,  heavier background,  and cluttered it up with all of the elements from other images that I felt were successful....a little too much.  But it is kind of growing on me.  By morning, I may like it.
