Thread the Needle


This challenge helps get me to try all sorts of things, but I’ve learned there are some terrific photos that I just cannot render with paint.  Here’s an example.  I like how it turned out, but the photo has a mood that just doesn’t come through.  Makes me think - avoid crisp, hard lines or maybe over exaggerate rather than try to "paint a straight line."  Hmmmm. . . .

Too spooked to paint the needle, but love the definition of the phrase:  Thread the needle: to find harmony or strike a balance between conflicting forces, interests, etc.
