Whats up and images I like

I took a small blog hiatus but now I think it is time to get back with it on a regular basis. I would like to share some photos that highlight my recent activities and some photos I just liked.

I have been working on this Santos for a while now and  I don't want to rush it but I have such an urge to see it done. I'm holding off painting it until I have the clothes a little further along.

These are the very early stages of just one layer of her clothing.

 This piece was so to fun work on. She gently rocks on the old bed spring. She holds her arms out bravely going higher than she has ever dared.

Another project on my workbench. I get ideas and try to at least start the idea so I don't lose the thought of creation.

An image I liked. It's part of a assemblage but as I was cutting the thread away it had to be photographed.

Another image I liked. This was the first thing I saw the other day as I stepped outside. It had just thawed enough to release the dew drops and the sun made each little drop shine. When this happens and I grab my camera I don't get anything done for hours....I need blinders sometimes!

 And last but not least by any measure.....My friend Dayna Collins and I are going to share a studio space in downtown Salem. It is 5 or 6 weeks from move in and my brain is going full tilt thinking of it.....as it gets closer the photos will fly.
