Emerging Architectures

[avad]

I'm working on my art- stressing because I haven't nearly finished the pieces I'm showing next week! (But what else is new- I do this last minute thing every time).
B's working late so I'm taking my dinner break with the computer- munching on thrown together pasta, sauteed mushrooms and sauce with a few chunks of mozzarella on top. Not bad. Not GOOD...but I'm not in cooking mode...just taking a short break.
Spent a good portion of the day crouch-crawling around my lawn picking up sticks. The whole lawn was littered with them from wind and trees and now that it's spring I finally got around to it. Must've looked pretty funny...but it made more sense than bending constantly. It became a smooth fast movement...I felt like a crab or insect-robot. sendao, I tried to take a picture for you of my extra full wheelbarrow-stick-nest...but it was already too dark- I'll take one tomorrow in the sun.:)
In the meantime, here's a pic of the studio with works in progress...



Still lots to go...that's just underpainting...I'll be adding sand and making the nails stand out more (all those black areas are nails. It'll be called Emerging Architectures...I'll talk more about it when it's actually done. I measured and miter-sawed the frame wood...have to stain it tomorrow and make frames for the small pieces.
Ok, that's the end of my pasta...back to work.

hehe... it looks like those little paint bottles are attentively listening to the mighty wisdom of the brush Bucket ;o)

you are so observant- jeesh. Guess I can't pretend anymore to be the one making the art- you found out how things really work in the studio. Yep, Brush bucket is the chief...he amazes me with how organized and efficient he is.. and it's a really good team he's got this time...a couple of newbies..but I think they'll work out. They do most of the work while I'm sleeping...then I help out during the day if they need big things moved around.
