Whole Lotta Tweaking
As I continued working on my muted piece, it was time to do a whole lot of tweaking! First, I made more units so I’d have enough to make it more square, rather than horizontal, as it stood when initially auditioned. Squares from earlier units gave me a good starting point. Getting close. As I…
Another Abstract Underway
As you’ll see, I’m still working in the same series. I’m loving the colors and the motifs. This is the sketch for the current piece. And here’s the background, more or less complete. Or so I thought. But, after studying it for awhile, I decided it was too pastel for my liking. It wasn’t bad,…
