My mom and I went and saw Bride Wars today... as she said, "It was no Gran Torino" .... unfortunately, I haven't seen Gran Torino yet... so, I can't compare, but can only imagine...
Actually, the main reason we went to go see Bride Wars was our friend Michael Arden is in it! He's great (as always)... and plays Kate Hudson's assistant/Mr. of Honor....
After that, it was time for business... <:o)E
I did a little work on the chandelier piece... it seemed like it lacked definition and outline towards the top of the piece... and I also just worked on the moth... but the change is SO slight, that even if I were to point it out, I'm not sure anyone (except for me) would be able to see it.
I did take the Girl with the hood.... (orange hood... green background...) ... remember how attached to her I was?!
Yeah, Well.... i painted the whole thing read and orange and purple!
I felt so much better once I painted over her!
I really like the moth painting.. and I like what moths personally symbolize to me.... Part of that is: searching for a light in the darkness....
That means a lot to me... searching... seeking... wanting to find the light... the strength... all of that has been part of my "new life" in the last year...
I thought i may do a moth series... (there are SOOO many GORGEOUS moths!) ... i still love moths SO much more than butterflies...
butterflies? ... *yawn*...
I bought a book in Austin at a thrift store on Lamar (not Salvation Army... but similar)... and I took the book and cut out hexagons to stick on the wood board (with matte medium) and then I painted the moth... simple... but it takes a LONG time
This piece has a WAYS to go... I want to make the bottom wings larger.... and look more like owl eyes... (that's what I think they look like...)
Okay.... so tomorrow (today)... Barak Obama is our new President! it's a new day! and I'll be working on the same moth from yesterday... but that's okay.... hey, that rhymes!
PPS... I still have NOT found a way to frame and hang this piece....
there's more...
