Returning...

Two weeks at the JC down.
The group in Etching is so exciting. The vibe is lovely. Diversity in art and experience, but everyone is enthusiastic and engaged. Loving it.

We started with a drypoint on copper. Totally new to me. A self-portrait. Oh heavens.
Challenging, but fantastic.
My first proof looked like my mom. Freaky. Haha.
I'll try to get one home to scan next week.

We'll be scraping it out and doing a plein-air on campus... trees.
Gotta love those oaks.

At home, we're overhauling the 'office' so that it will actually be functional. Novel idea.

Abstraction is restorative. Especially with paint. All of these are from high school or just after. I was on a really abstract kick for a while.

The bottom two were from a project. I had four sets in total, four panels each. Two sets were sandwiched together and attached with clear vinyl strips to create a giant 'Jacob's Ladder' toy. One of them was sitting at Chop's for a while.
