Yesterday afternoon I went back into this work done on illustration board with my casein paints and I am at a point now that either I get focused in on my subjects, or let it go and leave it as it is. Open and loose and undefined. I need to think about this for a while.
And while I wait [thinking] , I am getting started on horse art works from my KY trip……good stuff. New stuff. I will be working on watercolor paintings to get started on these pieces.
At the same time I am working on some very different for me, new work, mixed media and collage…hmmmmmmmm…. and where will I go with these??
I will leave you guessing??!!

My mother hated to get dressed up. I think I got my aversion to dressing up from her. I will go to extremes to get out of putting on a dress. And can you believe it that I used to do fashion illustration and wrote a fashion article for an American newspaper when I lived in Italy?
But now my life is simple….and on the farm, jeans are the fashion statement of my day.
This painting I am working on now is of my Mom and her big sister…all dressed-up, getting ready to go somewhere..maybe to church? I have done a quick pen and ink sketch of this scene and gone into it with a watery casein wash to get an idea of values. I am working on Crescent illustration Board, a favourite of mine for a support. I am thinking of maybe staying with casein for the first layer..and maybe will finish up with oil …or maybe tempera…….so many choices will work with this board.
