I have selected my photo of a water lily and plan to render this in 100 different methods. Surprising how much I’m loving this process. Revisiting techniques I haven’t used in years.

I am going through all the plastic Cuttlebug folders that I might use with jewelry. I can see using bits or all of particular designs.

More play!! Have so many ideas filling my head, each ones brings links to another idea

I’ve decided to continue with sketching/painting the neo-tropical wood warblers for this 100-Day Project series. By staying with the warbler form, I’ve noticed improvements in both the sketch and the watercolor. I’m using my own photographs and Jim Flynn’s from Chris G. Earley’s , WARBLERS OF CANADA. I also consult Field Guides, such as SIBLEY and old Brooks and Fuertes illustrations. Creating a life-like pose has been a challenge. I’ve been sketching/painting to music, which I cannot do when I write. The first sketch of Blackburnian Warblers was to Zoe Keating (cellist) INTO THE TREES. This second work of male and female Bay-breasted Warblers was done to Nadia Sirota’s (violist), BAROQUE. The repetitious pen/ink detail required for the work is well suited to the sounds created by these artists (No lyrics).

This piece has been the most fun headache I have ever created.
First I applied all the pen & ink work as I would my normal works I create.
Now I am applying all the simple watercolor washes throughout the piece in preparation of the Scratch Art portion of this piece.

As for Republic Arts Council “Mining the Arts” Festival the members continue to set up vendors, musicians and other entertainment.
The Township has been so helpful. We will have Main street closed along with connected side streets so everyone can walk freely without fear of vehicles. The few local businesses are readying themselves.
My biggest fear is the Artists and Craftpersons showing up.
These past 30 days of The 100 Day Project have been the busiest of my life and I know will get more and more hectic.
God help us 🙂
