These are a couple of paintings in progress-- I know i've been working a lot on craft-like materials//  (mainly because I've squeezed my way into a few holiday fairs over the season, and I'm a super rookie.)

But this makes things interesting. My goal was to really spend time on new paintings during this season, and look at them every day. Interested from the peaks of my past and color relationships. Building the color with the paint and really taking the risk to make a bold mark has been my mantra with these newbies.
