Works in Progress - Continued

So, I thought I’d continue to show you how these are emerging! Here is the latest:
 

Work in Progress 1 - As I mentioned in the prior post, this one needed some toning down. In real life, it looks more green, so I used some green acrylic to unify the background and make it less dominant [...]

Works in Progress - Dried

Here are some additional pictures of the WIPs, now that the gel medium has dried:

Work in Progress 1 - I love the colors here, but I think it’s going to need some toning down. The design right now is far too busy!

WIP 2 - This one has some real design to it. [...]

I have some works in progress to share today. Nothing finished, but at least one layer on each of these small canvases.
The first two are 5 x 5 canvas. Both are just in the starting stages. I am going to let them dry overnight and I hope to at least get one more [...]

Better day, Studio Friday and Sneak Peek!

Today I woke up with energy and I felt much better. Thanks to all of you who sent me well-wishes. It means a lot!
Studio Friday’s topic is Comfort and so I thought that with all the health stuff going on this week, I should share my “comfy chair” (left). It’s a chair I [...]

Thankful

It’s Thanksgiving here in the US. And I’m still fatigued from my treatment yesterday. Thankfully, I don’t have to cook today. We’re visiting some family this afternoon for the holiday. We just have to bring a fruit plate, which I’ll send my husband out for later today.
