I trust my living room rug is not horribly distracting.  I wanted to do a quick update on The Lotus Series.  I want to say they are finished – or I will say they are curing, resting on my dining room table so that I can look at them every day.  Do they need more or can I put this series to rest?  (That’s me asking myself, by the way).

I am delighted with them.  And the beeswax is intoxicating.  They smell good!  My last series, Fan – Girl, ended up being this crazy six dozen strong group of 8″ x 8″ paintings.  These are 8″ x 10″.  Do I make thirty-six more?

I used to paint one dozen units in a series.  Then it was two dozen, six dozen and now three dozen.  While the fans were a dozen each of one shape, these are three each of a dozen shapes.

I will photograph them individually; maybe I’ll do that tomorrow.  They are already titled too.  I’d love to get them framed but that will have to wait until I decide whether or not I will continue the series.

Decisions, decisions….

So glad I documented my progress!  I love seeing the evolution of the process.  Some of the pieces were reworked quite a bit and others were pretty much nailed from the start.  The paintings seem to tell me what they want; what they want to be/wish to be.  It’s a vibe.
