Color Families Update



On this Mother'sDay, my wonderful family granted me a peace filled day in my studio. Not only did my dear hubby take them out to find me the most perfect bicycle, but then, after a short family ride, minus JC of course as he was having Nintendo DS withdrawal, my dear husband announced to the kids that Mommy gets to have her peaceful day of alone time in the studio.

So back I went to continue adding layers to what I'm calling for now, "Color Families".

The yellow background is about done;that is giving I don't go out of my lines I've created for the other objects. My theory about coloring outside the lines still stands but when you create your own lines it is most rewarding when you can stay with in them. I suppose that could go for many aspects in life.

Working from left to right I've added layers to the for most little left ark but it still lacks weight. I'm still working at creating water movement around its cylindrical base. The for most large red ark Is my new point of focus for adding layers. I'm working on getting its dimension to emerge from the surface.

While "Color Families" still has a ways to go, I'm sure enjoying the all moments spent working on it.
