I am posting this a day early…since I won't be solid until a couple of hours into my flight tomorrow. I hope my weekend goes well, thank you for the well wishes…I'll be back on tuesday (hopefully, I'll have to unfurl myself first)

I took this photograph by accident, but I might have to come back and revisit this robot and add a flare to the painting. It gives this guy a bit more hope.

I am headed out of town again this weekend.  I was thinking of trying to tackle this little guy and finishing up a couple of dolls that I have been working on.  Taking a little bit of fabric and thread with me. It is not going to be exactly a pleasant trip my grandfather is sick and I haven't seen grandparents or my mom in years.  I have some trepidation about the trip. More on that later.

I don't check my luggage, so I can't take tons of fabric. I am thinking the head would be two colors…and the body one color. My initial color combinations were two greens, or grey & pink, or yellow & blue (all felt).  I don't have grey or pink right now and probably wont make it to the fabric store before I go, but any thoughts?  Or any other color combos that you'd like to see? I appreciate the help. If this bunny goes well…I might do a limited edition run like I did with the penguins.  I have a couple more penguins left to make until I get to fifty.  Then, no more penguins from me.

She kept popping into my head when I began reading this wonderful book.
I would have gone with a darker image as the book progressed.
Amazing circus images are swirling in my head (maybe some will make their way onto canvas).
I am terribly saddened that the author will never write another book.
It is definitely our loss.
Thank you to the public half of the la power couple for letting me borrow her book. 

The softie posed with one of Tim Biskup's larger than life creatures during my trip out to lala land.

This weekend I met with Amy (who is a wonderful photographer); she picked up her painting from last exit because the show is going to be there for a couple more weeks. It is very humbling and flattering that someone would want to hang one of my paintings on their wall.

This week is tototally different. I wanted to try for moody. Inspired by photos of what I think of as maria's beach.

Sarah found some old polyurethane that is thick and amber colored, so I experimented with this painting.

It was super thick and syrupy. 

It changed my colors, below is the before shot, above is right after the polyurethane was applied.
