Things have been.....interesting. I'm studying to take the GRE tomorrow (woe betide me, it's been 20 years since I did most of this math) so I've been studying for that. But in between memory hiccups I've been painting and playing. I have some new abstracts coming along, plus a couple more watercolor crayon drawings. Front and center I've been working on some model horses. The gold and white one is a rescued wooden statuette I bought for less than three bucks at a resale shop. I gave him a wire tail and am now adding mohair. His mane is going to be pearlescent paint (partly done). Clearly he is not intended to be realistic, but he is fun, and a good learning project. The white one is a Breyer plastic model horse which I've modified by sanding off the mane, cutting off the tail, etc. I added a horn, making him a unicorn. I think he is going to be dark blue with a black mane and tail. Why models? Because I used to collect them and have always loved them, and because I am having fun painting 3D objects. I am also continuing to work on my containers, albiet slowly. Between the trip to England we took and the GRE, my art time has been pretty limited. After I take the GRE tomorrow I plan to reward myself with some real art time.
