This Week

I am working on a larger painting based on some drawings. It is evolving into something, but I don't know what yet. I just keep going, but It's a challenge to bring what I've learned in drawing into a painting. I'm not sure why I can't just be as relaxed as I am in my drawings. I suppose it's more pressure when it's "big". The truth is it's easier to just paint over and start again on canvas, but I try to let whatever I am doing live. I got a wonderful present from Erika this week......look at that wrapping job! And 2 beautiful books were inside...Alabama Studio Style, Natalie Chanin's new book, and the really fun Lists, To-Dos, (etc.) by Liza Kirwin. Thank you E! You are the  best.
