oh my FRIDAY already?

i've been busy, first i was working on violets then i researched and laid out the pair of scarlet tanagers
i'm liking what is going on so far, and spending an enjoyable time watching the female take shape
i've decided that for this series i am going to take the painting of the quail pair out and add in an abandoned nest
then most likely do a gamebird series for the quail painting to belong to

actually this nest series was a very interesting series to me,  and when i finish i am hoping that it all 'hangs' together as a series...which i think it will
 i am also liking the idea behind it so i am considering expanding on that or continuing to explore that-i am considering maybe some three dimensional  pieces to go into this, i don't think i'll push it but i keep getting a few ideas popping up so we'll see..... (that would require another separate workspace)

i started working with gouache on the black paper, as well as botanical work.......... so we really need to finish setting up my other easels and workspace now--
i did a rough floor plan and lighting plan...... i think it'll work..
and we need to think about getting a computer just for the studio........
meanwhile i keep looking for an agent-- although lately with all the medical stuff, not as diligently as i was...
and since the fall i've had to recover.... the doc said the fibro kicked up and with rest the flare should soon be over......
so all things considered i'm still progressing...... slowly but surely

i will say....i am liking this female scarlet tanager i'm painting right now... in spite of her being green

and with that ....a good night
