knock on wood

results of some of my graphic/mixed-media experiments on wood,
originally inspired by the kokeshi project.

it was quite a challenge getting used to acrylic paint & painting so small.

these will go with me to LA next week.

happy 4th of july!

only could watch the fireworks from my fire escape.
back to work now!! T__T
it sure was hard fighting all the fun temptation this weekend.

things other than painting

the cats like to come hang out with me and doze off while i paint.
they have been very content lately since i've been home all the time.

noodles (always sitting with the same paw positions):


bento, sleeping at my easel base :


the sky has been so amazing lately outside my window :

i feel lucky to have such a great view of the skyline out the window,
i never would have noticed how turbulently beautiful the sky has been otherwise,
being a hermit that i have been all of june.
