A usable image
Finally achieved a usable paintover image of my mother's face. It's the bottom one on the photo strip. Now I can move on to aspects I'm not as particular about on this piece.
I really need more regular practice painting. If you have other obligation (kids, husband, thesis, job, whatever), how often do you make time per week for your art? I really want to hear what you do.

Lemme tell you a little yarn...
... A little yarn about the BAM Artsfair.
It's official. Yarnbombing is now mainstream enough for The Establishment to commission it for an art fair.
Perfect activity for The Boy, who helped add to one of the panels.
The panels and hangings will be displayed later in Suzanne Tidwell's installation at the Bellevue Arts Museum, a venue dedicated to artisan craft.
We spent most of the day there -- a mistake on my part, since TwoBoo really needed a nap. And a bathroom break. (He's now back to diapers instead of underwear.) Maybe next year I'll actually get to look at things closely enough to buy something from one of the 300 vendors.

Closer than before
Here's a little work-in-progress on my latest paintover. They're a lot better than some of the previous starts, which I tweeted yesterday. (My Twitter ID is @artistlisamb.) I think I may try one or two more -- hell, I've sealed ten other photocopies. Or I may choose one of these and call it good. If you have experience painting skin tones of people of color, lemme know fer Gawd's sake.
