WIP Eulogy, Part 13
Blocking out color. My grandmother loved white. She said on white, you can see the dirt better and, therefore, you could clean it better. Sounds reasonable to me. You can trust white. If it looks clean, it is clean. Because I’ve got so much white in this one I’m taking the string back to red. [...]

WIP Eulogy, Part 11
Beginning to bring in the shadows. The look of light starts with painting in the lack of it.

WIP Eulogy, Part 9
The hearts of birds free and otherwise have been added and I’m pretty much happy with the iron. Some of what I did will be hidden by the hands but I don’t care because having created the thing in it’s entirety is something I cannot regret. String/shoelaces have begun to make their appearances as expected [...]

WIP Eulogy, Part 5
Giving it lines and the first hint of string. The art of stealing moments. I really really like her face.

WIP Eulogy, Part 1
Last night, while I was having dinner and getting ready to make the 12 hour pilgrimage out to see her in the hospital, my grandmother died. I cannot easily describe to strangers how deeply important this woman was in my life and how close we were, and this morning I couldn’t find the will to get out [...]

Moth part 17, white hair?
In addition to cleaning up the moths a lot I also played with the colors some. I am considering what I have here: her dress is less saturated so that it becomes like the earth and her hair is white so that she becomes another moth herself. It makes her indistinct except for her skin, [...]

Moth, Part 12 Shadow
Experimenting with color for the background. The pale browns and tans are kind of desert like to me, which doesn’t go with moths. This, with the night theme, doesn’t quite look right to me and doesn’t go with the spring theme that I’m working for for the Albero fair. White bubbles in the top left [...]

Moth part 11, horizon and background colors.
The moths are shaded, I drew a horizon, and I’m starting to block out the background colors. I have officially been looking at this too long! And I keep wanting to add strings, but there’s nowhere good for them to go so I’m looking forward to starting the next one so that I can draw more [...]
