I've been having some dramatic technology problems. The good news is that I bought that extended warranty and will be shipping my laptop off to be restored. In the mean time , I'm posting on an old dinosaur of Trish's, which I am grateful to have.
I have a bunch of wood in my studio that I am having a great time painting on. Much of it is redwood scraps left over from a fence that Trish and her dad built in our yard. Here's a little piece done with those dress patterns.
I found some old dress patterns in a box on the street recently and have been experimenting ripping them up and covering them in bleached wax. I generally use unbleached, but was given a container of the bleached variety and decided to play.
The California Supreme Court heard the same-sex marriage case today. Trish was there as the photogragher for NCLR. Look for her pictures on their web site soon. The justices have ninety days to rule. I won't be holding my breath. But maybe I'm just preparing myself in advance for the disappointment.
