In order to proceed as I had originally intended, I needed to correct a major design flaw. I had originally placed the crossing circular section about an inch too far from center. Tonight I corrected this, and the pattern is back on track. As the photos show, the resulting correction is messy, but more balanced. The mess will go away when painting begins, and will not be visible.
I have always said that my celtic drawings "grow" on the page, and these are true to the rule. I make modifications depending on the way things look in the overall composition. I don't think there has ever been a time that a drawing has gone from start to finish without changing along the way.
I now have the rest of the knotwork planned out and can begin drawing it in.
