I have been making slow and steady progress on the new piece. Here is a photograph of it with the sand dollars more developed.

Here is a photograph of the new piece I started this week. It’s at a very beginning stage, but I always find it interesting to watch the developing stages of pieces.

Well that was one of the longest breaks from actually creating artwork that I’ve taken in years. How can five weeks go by so quickly?

While on vacation in Southern California we visited the Balboa State Park Zoo. I was struck by a peacock we encountered upon arrival – he went into full display mode. But have you ever noticed what the backside looks like while male peacocks are looking so magnificent? Here’s a photo, and it serves as a lead-in to the piece I just started. I hope to post a photograph by the end of this week! (By the way, I am NOT drawing the backside of a peacock. . . )
