Yestersay, I finally got over my block with FergieJ's collage, which I started 10 days ago and have been gracefully avoiding the subject ever since. I did continue it, but only to a certain extent, and it just sat there in my studio, giving me this I-am-not-finished provoking look.
Last Saturday, we had WackieM's last class (no need to sob - there's a good chance she'll be giving another 6-session monthly class, only this time it won't require going all the way north, but rather involve going south to QuiltieD's spacious house, which is only a 30-minute drive away).

It was fun to paint again, after 2 months of collaging, and I kinda like the sketchy result, (even if it does have a somewhat Neanderthal look to it...). I am looking forward to this summer assignment - should be tons of fun to do!!
And, last evening, I finally worked seriously on finishing the collage, and photographed it this morning.
Again, the color gets quite screwed up in the photo. Apparently, in a collage the effect is even worse than in a painting.
And yet: Voila!

"At The Drawing Table", Collage on matboard, 14"x21"
Not sure it's 100% done, but it's close to the point of looking complete. It's a real fun one to work on.
