Love looks not with the eyes

 
(Spencer, 11 x 15 watercolor)

I can't tell you how refreshing it was to drag one the heaviest packages of the year back to my studio, sink to the floor alongside my fuzzy bunny slippers, and slice open the most boring brown box to reveal these two beautiful books. Besides the wealth of inspiration and hours lost on silent musing, they make great hand weights.

The Body

You can barely see it in the last post , so here's a clearer picture of   what I've been working on in my new art studio... not that it hasn't come with little stop your heart stress moments.   The first time I attempted this piece, now referred to as The Body , was mutually as terrifying as it was exhilarating. It was the first full hand drawing I'd ever attempted, and everything was going smoothly until the moment I decided to incorporate oil paint, also the first in my artwork experiences.
