drastic times call for drastic measures

I know I haven't a touched paintbrush or drawing supplies for at least 6 months. And it's been over a year since my last blog post. VERY unproductive on the artistic front. In the meantime, junk has been accumulating in my studio. I wouldn't say, clinically speaking, that I'm a hoarder, but things were looking bad.

So, after a major purge, I'm back! I've signed up for a couple of classes to help me get back into rhythm. I entered a painting in a student show. And I actually played with an old acrylic painting this week, experimenting with acrylic skins as collage material.

And to really up the ante, I also started to gesso a huge roll of canvas.

Here's the painting from Shilo's class.
