Sketching

Today was a day of researching, sketching ideas for new paintings. Inspiration came from the Barcelona trip last September. Really enjoyed Picasso’s series on “Pigeons”. I would like also to incorporate some embroidery in my artwork. Read my new book titled “Stitch Stories” by Cas Holmes and revisited some of my old books and magazines (Cloth Paper Scissor and Uppercase) for techniques.
