Hi,
The painting workshop, taught by Katie Kendrick, a lovely talented generous spirit, was full of many experiences both good and challenging. I'm still processing it all. There were also unexpected logistical issues (having nothing to do with the workshop) of a wide variety that threw me for some loops, but were opportunities to learn more about myself (more good and challenging).
There are several works in progress from the different exercises. The one above is from day one- made with photos of a moth, one of Moon's birthday cakes, and that mouth I stitched collaged with acrylic paints. Funny, I had arrived that day with the intent of holding a happy lightness in my painting...Isn't it interesting how we can't get away from ourselves? I promise to share more photos and reflections when I feel more coherent.
Wishing you all a happy ease into autumn,.
Oxo, Hazel
P.S. I'm really missing keeping up with the circle of this community, and stitching, the first stitches in days happened this morning, all seventeen of them. So many things going on expected and not. Settling into school schedules, people we care about dealing with hard things, fall baseball, etc... Things might continue being a little irregular here for a piece of time. Trying to get my ducks in a row as quickly as possible. Quack.
