...I've been holed up in the basement. Coincidentally, that's where my studio is. Hmmmmmmmmmm...I wonder if there is a correlation?! At any rate, I've been experimenting with design and abstract painting: ALL of those experiments are totally deadly, and if I showed them to you I've no doubt that you, too, would be underwhelmed.
I have been having fun photographing the pieces, however, cropping and experimenting with my camera. I love colour and texture so much that it's hard to even pretend I'm working. That being said, I thought you'd enjoy some of these photos:

This small piece is part of experimental piece with Pebeo products, started in a play session with Lynne Mizera. She dripped and I coloured. What a team! |
 |
| This is texture paste on a canvas, overpainted with acrylic inks and elan! |
 |
From a JumpStart session, I just recently found this piece of mark-marking on board, overpainted with white. Luckily I'd started five others and could do some more experimenting on them as well. |
