word 13 of 30


actually {approx 5" x 4"}
acrylic on board

abby gave me actually.
abby's art pieces are so fantastic, all of her creatures have so much personality. I love not only how much she has been growing, but also the amount of work she accomplishes. Fantastic.

I had a productive weekend. A couple more words, a party, lots of sketching, and the beginnings of a piece that is a trade for a friend.
I also realized that I need to give myself the filling up the well time. I keep trying to move that along, but then I stall out. My process is in my head in the beginning. I realized it the other day as I was falling asleep. I was behind a camera on a crane, just swinging around waiting. Changing the angles on a piece I was considering, choosing the right moment to snap the shutter and then I feel asleep.

have a good monday all!

    Lovely, lovely, lovely Wenders. Interesting, non-stylized anatomy. Keep taking your time with these. I think the pauses are really allowing for growth.
