OK, finally after about 6 mths of experimenting, i have three paintings I am happy with. Phew!!!Lots of paint and paper sacrificed!

Mixed media non objective painting.

Mixed media underpainting, non objective. Untitled.Fields of color with texture and some tension. Needs to be pulled together with a focal point probably where the sharp edge of the lower right triangle is.I'm liking the feeling of this painting. Hopefully i wont muck it up. The last one has been cut up into tiny squares heading maybe for a collage.

Horse and Rider turning into a non objective painting

Ok now I've turned the painting upside down and am working at looking at shapes and layers to work toward a non objective painting. Click to enlarge.

Kathe Mera Studio and Foundations for a new body of work.

 Sketch from photo sort of realistic.Not clear. Click on image to make bigger. That might help.

 Sketch reduced to a few basic shapes.Study...Horse and Rider.

Mono print and melted oil and wax techniqes. All studies toward a new body of work. Here we go again. A little lost in space trying to figure out a direction for my artwork. i am dabbling in everything to practising life drawing to totally non objective work. When i settle into a body of work i will need to buy myself a set of blinders to stop me heading of in all directions.I am in a state of confusion at present. Woe is me.

Kiddy Lit, onward and upward

Ok, looks like I'm focusing on Children's Book writing and illustration. Kiddy Lit!However....it's a mad house out there! Things are changing so quickly in this industry and that's making my head spin. 
My goals for this year are three fold. Abbreviation for contro CRL

1. To  Connect....eg I haveave joined an illustrator's group on Facebook


2. Revise....eg I've taken storys out of the closest to pull apart and put back together. Illustrations too of course.
If i can stick to these three goals maybe i wont go 'totally' nuts!

3. To Learn....eg. I am reading articles, watching youtubes, trying to get a handle on Photoshop and Sketchbook Pro 6 as well as getting into that studio and make good old traditional drawings on the drawing board.

I also have a 'check-in buddy' to keep me on track. We send a short email to each other every Friday stating what we have done during the week to move us toward those goals. So far this has worked well! Stay tuned
