Ancestry

acrylic, gesso, ink, pencil, collage on canvas wip



a wistful longing

regenerates ancient ties

to another time



i have been painting every day.  it's been a bit of a push. 
misty's face to face workshop as well as gritty jane's 10 day challenge
have both helped to keep the momentum going.
also i love my new studio space.  
the morning light draws me in
to create first thing even though i often feel as if 
i can't or don't know what to paint next.
but once i am in my space around my materials
i start.  from that point there is no looking back

here are a few of the faces i've painted.  my son
says they are scary but then he said he likes scary:)




















okay.  they are a little scary :)




this post is linked to rebecca brooks' haiku from the heart

  8. It's that practice that is so important! I admire that you are doing this daily and the faces...I think so lovely and not the least bit scary. the online classes are a wonderful inspiration and I need to enroll in one.

    carry on!

  12. Wow...your top WIP is amazingly beautiful. It looks finished to me. Nice work. I really like the composition and the random bits of collage paper I see.
