New layers on the "spring" painting

In the studio

The small paintings are almost completed. Since I ran out of glazing medium for the “whale” painting, I started a new artwork. Worked on the background adding texture with the new stencil which I received from Amazon today. Very enjoyable day painting in the studio. :)

Colours

While waiting for the layers of paint to dry on the whale painting, I started two small paintings on 6” X 6” canvas. This one is just about playing with colours inspired by some pictures. Not sure yet if it will be background for a future artwork. Really enjoying my time painting this last two days

Whale

Progress on the whale painting. After many thin layers of paint, I "got" the blue I wanted for the whale :)

Back to sewing this afternoon and it felt good. Trying a new pattern from Alabama Chanin Book in old T-shirts. All hand sewn no machine. Beautiful work.
