Jeff and I had the afternoon off today. So with Kai next door at
Michelle's, we worked on cleaning up the garage. Jeff finished his
workbench and we were finally able to get the saw and rolling cabinets
in place. Jeff started putting all his tools away, but we ran out of
time. Maybe we will get some more done tomorrow...
Progress such as it is this is about 4 hours work over the last couple of days. Works has been getting in the way of knitting.
One sock to the heel the other just over two repeats of the leg done.
Spent the past few days working on the sea, with oils.. Almost happy with it... Will re-work the foam/splashes in a few places, apply a murky yellow glaze over everything which should link the foam to the sea better....Then work back into the foam again......and then ofcourse, start work on the figure, umbrella, shark, background, and all the other elements..
Slowly - but progress none the same.
Excellent Olympic exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. My advice though is to have your coffee at 'Notes' at the bottom of St Martin's Lane rather than in the gallery cafe.

All of the over-wintered plants (begonias and coleus) are outside and putting up new growth. The petunias and verebena in the front boxes are coming along, and last year's caladium tubers are putting up leaves in the corner round planter. In the lower-left corner, the very last of the pansies are sharing a pot with the very last daffodil (which never bloomed). It's just about time to pull it up (along with the very last of the muscari), dry it out, and stick it in a bag for next year.
I then painted the dirt floor, paying attention to small textures like little pebbles and patchy, speckled spots which give the ground more depth and lets it look more natural. I also mapped out the main strands of hair that would extend from the body.
this is what my clock looked like when it was half done.

Getting closer to having the Chevy back on the road... Been working on it pretty heavily on weekends lately. Still have to fabricate a couple new brackets, finish the wiring harness for the new transmission cooler fan, a couple other minor tasks, then it'll be ready for a shake-down cruise. I can't wait!
