Ok, the bug bit and the itch is quite annoying. Therefore, I'm preparing to start two new pieces. First is a pastel piece featuring poppies. This piece is from my imagination but inspired by a picture taken by my mother-in-law when she visited the national poppy reserve in California this spring. Second, and closest to my heart, is a portrait (my first ever) of my precious grandmother a.k.a. Mamaw. I lost her over 11 years ago and it still feels as painful as that very day quite often. The piece is partly for me but mostly as a gift for my mother and her brothers (I will have prints made for each).
Holding out hope beyond hope for free time, I plan on the piece accompanying a family cookbook that I've been working on for years now, off and on. I have all of Mamaw's old recipes at home and have been working at transcribing the family favorites. Many are so old and time-worn that portions have been literally read using the indentations in the paper since the ink was completely gone.
I will try to be diligent in posting updates to both projects. We shall see how it goes.
On an unrelated note, my thoughts and prayers are with my dear friend (and fabulous pastelist) Tammy. I haven't heard from her in a few months now and have had no replies to messages. I fear that her husband, Bob, isn't doing well at all. May God give peace, comfort, strength and healing to them both.
