News From the Front

It's been quite an adventure lately. work has been sucking the life out of me, but it does help pay the bills and I know it's not gonna last forever. My daughter has been staying at her granny's house so I've been using a lot of my time to get the house cleaned up. We've also been experiencing a flood of epic proportions, the biggest in recorded history. It was touch and go there for a while, there was even talk of evacuation. It's strange when you here something like that brought up. I was trying to think what I would take with me if I had to go, wondering what I would do with all my paintings and supplies, where would I go, how would I get there. I finally just decided to leave it all in God's hands. If he wanted to take back all the art I created, so be it. I can always create more. Fortunately it never came to that.
On a lighter note, I've been working on t-shirts as of late. It's a brand new medium for me and I've enjoyed the whole process. I take black t-shirts and use bleach to create images. I'm pretty happy with most of them, but bleach is the most unforgiving medium I've ever worked with. There's no covering up once it goes to work. I have a couple that aren't quite what I want them to be, but I just look at fixing them as a challenge. Who knows, I may even learn something new along the way
