I got all the books roughed in, along with the upright and base of the marble bookend on the right. I'm eager to get paint on every bit of the canvas so I can start refining and adding pattern.
I'm a 'stranger' that follows your blog and I absolutely love seeing your work come together day-by-day. I'm originally from Atlanta, GA but moved to Anchorage, AK in my early 20's. I'm midlife now and splitting time between Anchorage and a little town in Minnesota where my youngest son is attending prep school. Just dropped my oldest off at Colgate University in Hamilton, NY. I love to quilt and have dabbled in oil painting the last couple of years. Trying to figure out what to do with myself in the next season of my life (post empty-nest). Anyhow, thank you for posting your work. It is amazing and very inspiring! Vicki Sinz
An Atlanta native, I lived in northern California in the sixties, worked in front of the camera in Europe in the seventies, and earned my living as a writer for twenty plus years. As a contemporary realist painter, I'm fascinated by the skin of the world, the bounce and skitter of light on textures, and the push and pull of shadows on form. See my finished work on my website, www.virginiaparker.net and follow my works in progress here. I currently live 1.4 miles from the house I grew up in.
