“The storm starts, when the drops start dropping
When the drops stop dropping then the storm starts stopping.” 
― Dr. Seuss

... first three in a series of twelve.

'On a Clear Day' mixed media on canvas, 18" x 18"

 Mixed media pieces, in various stages of development are piling up ... it's a lovely feeling to reach the (almost) completion of a couple of works!

I have come to accept the reality (epiphany!) that all my work goes through many lives and manifestations (even with my best of intentions to work in a linear line of creation). It is a long journey for most with numerous metamorphosis stages, sometimes spending long periods of time in one form, only to be suddenly, unrecognizably transformed into a new entity.

​That is my process, and their journeys are my daily mediations - I respect and love each piece and am grateful for their creation.

Rearranged a few large pieces on the wall to apply more layers. It is almost time for a session of 'taking away' with my lovely palm-sander and then more layers of paint and paper.

The other side of my studio = chaos. Piles of wee works in-progress. I usually thrive in the mess but feeling very challenged and discouraged in my creative process lately .... but I keep moving forward.​

Applying more layers to a few pieces ....

Back to working on larger pieces this week .... layers of paint and paper.

Loving layers and texture ....

Piles of small works, in various stages of fermentation .....
