It hardly seems possible, but the numbers don't lie. More than a month has gone by since my last post here. I have been kind of busy with making things, since then. I've developed a (possibly unhealthy) obsession with putting moss on things. I've carved in plaster. I've painted, and drawn, and consumed lots of tea and coffee--a critical part of the creative process. And I've taken uncountably many pictures of my cat, which is my version of practicing portrait photography.
This picture is a smallish oil painting that I have started, but not yet completed. It's partly on hold because I'm not 100% sure how to proceed technically. The good news is, it is so far pretty much exactly what I had in mind, as far as composition and execution. This pleases me. I expect it will please me even more when it's finished.

I don't think I've mentioned it before, but I remain continually amazed at the uniformity of your freehand circles. I can't make a round shape to save my life.
Those aren't freehand circles! I have a compass, and I'm not afraid to use it...
I *can* do freehand circles, there's a technique I learned that is very helpful for that (explained here), but for things like this, I really prefer the compass. Once the line is drawn, it's just like a coloring book. Now that I think about it, a lot of my stuff is like a coloring book.
I seriously dig this.
Speaking of putting moss on things, I was asking one of our vendors the other day if we could print on the bottom of mugs.
