Seems like I manage about two of these journals a year.

I've just uploaded some stuff from my drawing class last year. Used reams and reams of paper, but these three are really the only ones worth sharing. (The oil painting is also based on sketches from that class.)

Since I last wrote, I've fallen head over heels for two new (to me) media - oil paint and vine charcoal. Both are so wonderfully sensuous! I seriously don't know how I've put up with acryllic paint for so long.

What little work I've had time for (I've spent much of the last year opening a restaurant with my sweetie, not a lot of studio time) has gone in opposite extremes. On one hand, I'm really trying to work more from life than photos, though that usually gives me a headache. (My eyes are fine, but I always wish they would focus just a little better...)

On the other end, my painting has been really abstract for a while now, and I've been doing a lot with found objects.

A friend asked if I was still working on the Tarot series. The answer is a definate "maybe." I got bored with the Joni Mitchell painting and set it aside, then this abstract obsession kicked in. I've been kinda wanting to go back to the series with "The Star", but I don't think I'm in the right frame of mind for that much realism.

WORKS IN PROGRESS:

Completed, need to scan/photograph:
Untitled #4 (This doesn't give y'all much to go on, does it?)

In progress:
The Sun (if I ever get around to fixing it)
The Empress (If I ever get around to finishing it)
Untitled #5 (I really dislike naming things) An abstract for Dionysos

Planned:
As inspiriation strikes, really
