As I mentionned - my direction seems to be straying from the sweet and adorable to a darker shade of umber. I'm throwing in gauze - because it's a super transparent accessory to offer up what I have been going through emotionally. Call it trite. Call it obvious. Call it what you will - but I love it. My stitchwork has reappeared (something I can do while watching TV, being a lazy-bones AND getting a project done), and I'm happy about it, although my thumb is paying dearly.
This style was "acquired" from a wall painting that caught my eye in Barcelona. I couldn't tell you what street, because downtown B. is like some sort of medieval labyrinth, but it was up there - not advertising anything but ART. It was beautiful - and moving. Lots of siennas, and golds, whites, blacks and reds.
Here is the first, within this *series* .

I will be taking snaps of the works in their "in between" stages. As it is now, it's hard to keep a portfolio of up-to-date photographs, as I am constantly adding or changing the work I have. At least now I will take those pictures I always threatened to take.
