This week I have been busy emailing schools and community groups to see if there is any interest in workshops for kids… the response has been very positive! We’ll be making art in no time!
In the mean time, I have been hard at work in the studio. I have been working on a persona project for a couple weeks now and let me tell you… some times things do not go how you planned! A good portion of my practice is just that.. practice! I do a lot of tests and fiddling trying to get things right. I spent an entire afternoon recently doing just that and it just wasn’t happening. I was not happy with my results, I was not getting where I wanted to be.
So instead, I decided the best cure for that would be to… just paint! I still have this GIGANTIC piece from the Harvest Moon Festival that was waiting to be worked on, so I dove right in and got to work. Its still not finished, but there has been some really fun progress. I absolutely love the speech bubbles and the residents’ contribution! Can’t wait to see it all finished.
More updates soon!
