Studio Scenes

So...after stating that I've decided not to work in series, it seems that these 'fashion plates' paintings have got me very excited to think about painting another series.  We spent a lovely weekend with my eldest daughter and her extended family in Lethbridge for Thanksgiving and, as the weather has turned, it's been wonderful to spend time in my studio again.  I keep thinking I'll go back into the first one I painted but I think, just like the 52 WEEKS::Heroes paintings which focused on portraits, the first few weeks of the series takes a bit of adjustment and a period of a testing of the waters until I'm happy and comfortable with the process and the end result.  I'm thrilled because I finally feel like I have a direction again.  I'm going to try to work slowly and not rush this process but I am happy.  And it's lovely as these are based on the photos I have been taking of my daughter's fashion designs.  Not only is she a talented tailor/designer, but a wonderful model. too.  If you'd like to see her work, visit her at The Modiste.
