DAY SEVEN (Jan 11, 2007)

Worked in the studio all day on arty biz stuff. My assistant helped me out most of the day and we got a lot done including bagging and backing prints, packing art to ship to galleries, cutting mats and framing prints. I'm really trying to build up a good inventory of merchy stuff cuz i wanna step it up this year... we'll see how that goes. Anywayz - got started painting around 9 pm and worked till 2 ish. As you can see, when I start painting with tiny brushes... it takes time. I feel a few big brush paintings comin on so i can cover some ground for all the shows i have comin up...

Worked on the roots some.

First pass on 'the beauty'

Blocking in 'the beast' . I used the same technique as i did on the heart... starting with the lightest colors and pushing the form with the darker colors... working my way to the edges.

These figures are real close now... just a few adjustments to make them pop.

To Be Continued ... keep an eye on my blog to see what happens next - will update daily till its done:
