Frankenstein Friday

Don't wake the Chug!

progress report...

I put in a full day of work on the globe yesterday.
This little globe.
So small, so fragile and yet full of life.
Like an egg.

I have a long way to go...but working the surface is an amazing experience. I was thinking yesterday that these images are like pages from a great book..out of order and scattered around me..I am picking up handfuls of pages..and deciphering them. Translating them into my own language, a visual recounting.... Ones mind wanders when excavating the globe...
onward!

What is going down in egg town...

Egg tempera globe is coming along. I think the photos do a pretty good job of showing the eggy texture of the surface. Once the painting part of the process is finished I can buff the surface with a soft cloth.
It is a super slow process. Not one that would normally suit my nature. But I am doing this my way. Traditionally one would work out all the colors and systematically layer them to get a desired effect. I am a more spontaneous painter and thinker, so that is how I am playing this. It is a nuanced process requiring major decisions to be made along the way.
After painting all day yesterday with egg. This morning when I got up the last thing in the world I wanted for breakfast was eggs! Smelling yoke all day has put me back on a morning diet of bagels and lox!
onward!!

painting!

Finally! I am in the studio today. By studio I mean Kitchen. I have all my tools in place and am ready to roll. The eggs have been boiled and are waiting to be filled...so to speak. I will try not to complain too much. We hates the whinny artists!..especially when it is us!
Onward!

Monday-monday

Well, I can't find the recharger for the camera...so here is an old illustration..but a fitting one

I still have home crap to catch up on ....so, lots of yuck work ahead of me today

I feel like I will never get back to my work...and it is driving me crazy!

Monday-Monday....

Ah, but we did have fun this past weekend!
check out some photos from The Queen of Art Photography in Richmond. I was planning on going down and taking more photos of the show and talking about it, later this week. But, the way things are going, it may not happen. I need to paint...like yesterday!

Monday.
Monday.

I am very frustrated today!...but when has that stopped me?

....onward?
..forward?
..this is just a bump in the road

..I am on the right road...!

onward

One more time: It is a new dawn a new day a new life for me...
and I am feeling good!
OK, that is better..
Onward!
