i am posting the progress of the new drawing with the ducklings. as you can see i am developing the background now working mainly from the center out but also establishing where the far corners are going. i like how the softness of the background seems to transfer to the ducklings. i am having fun with this, and plan on using this same subject to explore composition and some color work. i doubt that this is the start of the egg tempera though. that's still kicking around in my head. i have a few more ducklings to do however in black and white. i also need to post the progress of the shawl i have been knitting, and i will as soon as i finish the border lace- which should be over the weekend. it's a very deep border.tuesday i am going to allentown, first off i have to get a new dead rat..... the old one is 17 years old and.....well.....pretty ratty looking.. since i am there i will stop at the yarn store and maybe michaels.
jen's going with me, as she could NOT resist the yarn store......
yes more yarn for shawlettes........
like the FOUR new skeins of 'anne' i just got ( on a FABULOUS sale) weren't enough...........
and like i got room in the freezers for all the new shawls i'm knitting......
i need to come up with a new summer plan, maybe freezing things for like two days each then vacuum sealing them in those big space savers?
i don't know....
cause it's just so EASY to put each thing in a zip lock and toss it into the freezer
and we all know how i like easy!
yesterday was the first day i felt a bit better, so i dumped duck ponds and scrubbed them
started on the studio floor and then the lure of the easel caught me and i returned to the duckies......
which i am about to do in a few minutes again... ( and to paraphrase a pirate......'the duckies call to me')
meanwhile it's a glorious 45 degrees out
wonderful
i can move compost in this weather and wash down the door to paint!!!
have a wonderful weekend where ever you folks are
Beautiful drawings!
