I'm back!


Well, the show was a success! I learned a lot, made a profit and totally and completely exhausted myself. After taking a few days off from arting, and working a bunch of days latte-ing, I'm back to the drawing board... literally.
This is my next shadow-box I'm working on. I want to try and get at least 1-2 new pieces before the show May 30th in Georgetown. Here's hoping!
It's funny how sometimes the drawing makes the decisions for you. I started this one thinking I was going to use purples and yellows for the finished piece. The more I was drawing, the more and more this began to take on a kind of water under a full moon sort of feel... must be all the round shapes. So it's going to have lots of blues, and maybe some golds in there. The model for this one was my beautiful artsy fartsy crafty friend Diane.
I think the composition needs a few more tweaks, I think I'm going to move her over to the right a bit more.
Glad to be arting again!
