In the studio

After the background, I block in the foreground with more gesso. Here are five paintings I'm finishing. There's a total of 12 that I think I'm going to finish today. Optimistic or delusional?

My teenagers

My friend Jane asked, "do you have any new babies in your studio?"

My reply: I have about 20 unfinished pieces. I love them in this raw state---but I know they can't stay there. Next I go into the least favorite part for me-between raw and finished. it can be anything from a struggle to downright revolt. So here I go, into the studio, ready for anything! They're like teenagers right now----we might have a great time, totally entertaining or we might have to see whose Will will win out!!!

This teenager (Dancing with Weeds #4) gets a "C" in the cooperation department.

Limited Edition Canvas Giclee

Another studio shot. I actually have two studios. The shot of greeting cards in progress was taken in my outside studio---this is where I make cards and do all my shipping. This picture was taken in my painting studio. I just had Street Magic #5 printed on canvas. It is so beautiful---the colors are exactly like the original. Project of the day: learn to stretch canvas!!!
