no need to tell you what my house looks like

I have been working for 2 days straight...no need to tell you what my house looks like. The stone is looking beautiful, though it feels as though it is going so much slower than my impatient artist is comfortable with. I am trying to get her symmetrical, that is always the challenge in a representational piece. Horses have very strong lines and a specific feel to them. My interpretations of horses are not anatomically exact, that is not what I am looking for. More , I am looking to get the piece to feel like a horse, though her nose may be too small or too big, does it feel like a horse's nose, does it fit with the jaw, are the eyes (or in this case, the eye, which is a whole other stretch of realism that I am trusting) in the right position.... Oh, I know that I could measure it all out and mark exactly on the stone where everything should be anatomically, but that would absolutely stop me in my tracks. I would have to put my intellect in the driver's seat and trust me, every time I have tried that control trick my intuition jumps off the wagon and darts off into the forest and with her gone I have absolutely no fun working alone with my own mind. When my intuition is not at the reins there is no connection for me to that inexplicable and completely consuming place where I am able to make passages make sense and stay focused on the piece working as a whole.
