Did some more work today for “Olive & Ida’s Summer Barbecue”. I Moved Olive to better paper and cleaned her up some. Still a few tweaks before she’s ready for the finished piece but she’s coming along nicely.

Did some ink studies for “Valley of the Dolls” today. It was fun working in ink again, as it had been a long while. Due to my love affair with the pencils I use I tend to neglect other mediums for long spells. I love working with ink though, its a very expressive and bold medium. Will try to work some more ink studies for this piece. I am happy with a few things that came out in the clouds and tree for these. Small, simple, quick but successful studies.

Finished working on “Olive Hates Her Kitchen Wallpaper” today. Think I’m done with it for now. Don’t have any plans to paint it or develop it into something else. Of course that may change.
