happy birthday

Last week was a bit of a milestone for me (you know, turning 40 and all). I hadn't thought it would be much of a big deal but I have to admit, I do feel a little different... as though I'm on the other side of something. And getting "up there" has reminded me I had better do some work. Time's a-wastin'... as they say.

So, I finally finished the paper cut of Kurrajong tree pods I mentioned in my last post.

It was nice to finish something and I think I may take some time to complete other projects that have been collecting here and there in the studio. I think I am going to take a little break from paper cutting and get back to some painting... I just feel the need for something more substantial at the moment. Happy weekend!

a new paper cut in the works... A couple of posts back I showed a paper cut study of a Kurrajong tree pod I worked on in anticipation of doing a larger piece. I think I was envisioning something REALLY big but have sort of settled for kind of big (compared to the size of most of my work). Below is the paper cut in the initial drawing stage and then in it's painted (pre-cut) stage. I probably could use this opportunity for a tutorial but I am saving that for later when I can be a bit more organized about it. I plan to work on...
