"Solstice" - 1

 New work in progress - this being an experiment of using the acrylic paint as the medium instead of the acrylic inks, but still using the pens and nibs...  the color is pthalo blue...

"Binding Curve" - 6a

"Binding Curve" - 3

and this is the finished and fixed grisaille - now to glaze the colors on.........

"Binding Curve" - 2

finished the grisaille, tho with a bit more there than intended, so having to work out a 'save', as seen in the penciling....

"Binding Curve" - 1

further work on the grisaille...........

"Binding Curve" - WIP

have begun another - 14"x9" - grisaille in progress, prussian blue acrylic ink...

"Au Paired" - finished

decided to just color the wood grain using the antelope brown, letting the differential of contrast bring it all out yet not distracting from the 'main event'.........

"Au paired"

Having finished the 'monster' painting, FUGUE, have, between catching up on my reading, resumed rendering, this time a small one of 14"x11"...  here shows a work in progress on several fronts - the prussian blue grisaille, red earth and antelope brown for the under part of the support, flesh [ yes, is the name on the  FW acrylic ink label] and antelope brown for the stone, light green and emerald green on the stem, with sepia on the shade part and into the woody area of the plant...

"Protinuousy"

a discovery of a 'lost' work of many years ago brings forth this... 24"x18" pen and ink on primed pad canvas...

and FUGUE is finished...  48"x96", 36"x96" painted area, black acrylic ink on primed roll canvas...

 Because it took so long getting the bamboo done, because of the twists and such of the thicket, am adding a 'post-next-to-the-last' update...

 here is the close-up of the thicket, showing how complex it is...

and here is the rest of the main painting just finished...  as soon as the ink is dry, will cut the 9 feet of canvas from the roll, and then begin doing the birds and wired above - the last bit to the work...

Next-to-the-last update on this, hopefully, as the next one should be the finished one...  ran out of ink Friday so had to wait until today to get another bottle...  so now can move on to finishing detailing the bamboo [seen left], and the birds and wires above...

Closing in - one can see the vegetation on the left... once reach that, then go over the unfinished veggies, then get the wires and birds........  and be done.

Moving along....

Am now working my way back, detailing as I go along, both the fence and vegetation...  when reach the rest on the left side, will then go over it all and erase all the pencil marks...

the ending of this is at long last in sight, tho the fence needs be inked, and the next section of fuguing - the knots - needs be laid in.....

this is the whole of the rendering as it presently is - the hard part, the ground, is now done, and can get on with the rest of the vegetation and fence...
