Wall Space, Project Space

I am enjoying having a place to work. It's good to be able to communicate with other artists and to have the freedom to walk away from my pieces for a while without having to leave the house/studio. So here are a few in process pictures of my work in project space. Hopefully I'll be getting things done sooner rather then later.


This is a Birth to Death Series. Actually it was supposed to be (from left to right) Birth, Life, Death. But the last piece just doesn't feel dead enough. So I guess I'll have to draw one more ;)

Here is what the space looked like at the beginning (you can see the three Birth to Death Drawings pre-drawing on the left there. The other seven pieces of paper which have what I am tentatively calling the Spectrum Series. I've started the "red" one of the left. We'll just have to see what happens.


Thanks for looking!

Birth to Death

So these are the latest pieces I've got going on. I haven't been able to post too much lately, been busy busy busy (but everyone says that so are we really *that* busy?) Anyway, this is what I'm working on. Still thinking about death and mortality but now trying to think about it in the context of life and living. So here we go. The last piece was actually supposed to be "death" but when I finished it this morning it didn't feel dead, just a little older. So it became an extension of life (life continued), which to me makes so much more sense to me. If you look at Life and then at Life Continued, the first piece looks brighter, younger, more hopeful, while the next piece still looks bright, just more grayed, more mature. Certainly not dead. So I guess that means I'll have to draw another piece to finish this out *sigh* ;)
