And this one is just crazy - from Feb 15th to here!

I put this blog entry up a couple of weeks ago. But am putting it up on on Paint Party Friday today as I have done NO painting this week for a variety of very good but busy reasons. Now I am cooking for 18 at a Byron Katie workshop this weekend. It is a three day weekend starting on Friday. I took this picture into my weekend art workshop a couple of weekends ago and the tutor said it lacked tonal contrast. I like it but can see his point. I might do something to the side panels.

Anyway - sorry its not new new but its not that old and I really wanted to be part of Paint Party Friday, I enjoyed myself so much looking at all your work and getting comments on mine last week. Love Rosie

(Original blog entry) You have seen the progress and this is where I am now. This one has been turned up another way too.  I will be putting self leveling gel on the buttons and I like this leaping man. You  have already seen him on the Citra Solv one. Last night I thought I'd sew some beads on then I realised there is a support strut right where I want to sew. (Later) All the little buttons are now gelled and it's pretty much a matter of saying its finished!
P.S. The picture of the leaping man came from a the brochure for the Auckland Arts Festival so my partner and I went to see the show. It's from Taiwan - I can't remember what it was called I'll look it up and add to this blog later. It was a lot of very vigorous and exciting drumming.

  5. I like it The figure stands out against the background. I do see what your tutor means maybe make some of the darks darker and the lights lighter. When I have this dilemma I scan or put a photo onto my computer and change it to gray scale and then I can see easier where to lighten and darken a painting.
