how it goes : fredericksburg trade days : texas : feb.2012

not too much to update, yet i feel compelled to do it. a slow week, with an interesting detour to austin one day (cross fingers). then -- recovering (cough sniff cough), hiking, cooking brown rice, housecleaning, organizing and minimizing, and yes ... painting. please ignore the painting below, the one we discussed. (and the one i am so grateful for comments upon) yes, i worked it a bit more and now it is in the trash, along with many others. i don't feel one bit bad about it. i worked them and tried things and stepped back to see how it would go and it went so badly that it wasn't even worth gluing book pages on and starting over. they get to that point, you know. so OUT! and onward... but i am learning, and for now, continuing. i realize that i really really long to combine painting and my photos, but so far, every attempt = "and then i glued a picture on!" that is not what i want. the integration is so important. i have seen it done well and i know it can work, but so far, not for me. however, onward. as always.

where else is there to go?
