Switch to Semi-nudes

Happy Holidays!

Had a nice Thanksgiving. Have finished my Christmas shopping- actually was done two weeks ago, ug. It seems forever since I have blogged. At the RRCA we have Artful Giving going on in which I have 24 small pieces for sale- no bites. I was thinking yesterday in my studio that I have to stop producing- but how do you stop? I pulled 10 prints alone yesterday and Friday before the Millville parade I began a pastel (some of my prints are intended to be enhanced with pastel). When my back acts up and I'm at the studio- I sit on the couch and read something from the library- and am only further inspired. Yesterday I read an issue of International Artist. The quality of work presented makes me think, and leaves me somewhat dissatisfied with the district. And with my own work. Wanting to be better........

Fresh Ink!

Nice to be working with etcher's ink again though my fingernails are now grungy. Pulled 10 prints today. Just a beginning. I was loaned a drying rack, hope to fill it the next two weeks. What fun!

Sunsets from my sunroof

Next two weeks and then some....

I have new ink and paper! Starting tomorrow.......

The "sugar lady" is finished her class as of last night, so I'll have access to the sink to wash my plate between prints. I intend to immerse myself in the ink (much richer than oil paint I think), and I do not know when I'll post pics:)

Two gouaches during the week with no sink, I wasn't at the studio a lot, got some things done around the home-
