KONSTRUKTION No. 06 on Texture (detail)

As of the end of March the first quarter of this year-long project is complete.  I've created an entire series of the 21 on  18" x 24" textured grounds and found it to take about 2 1/2 weeks in total.  Now I'll turn toward 'looking' at the photo references and cross stitched images as I move from these graphic, two-dimensional images toward more fleshed out, three-dimensional works the goal being a revival of drawing skills long neglected.

I also completed 21 small studies on a lace texture just to see how the images work cropped and on a smaller scale.

And, finally, I've finished my home art gallery where the works will be displayed as I go in order to determine what works and what needs to be addressed.
