Processing Frida

It's a quiet Saturday June gloomy day. Jason is at work and I'm finishing up a Modigliani inspired Little Girl. I'm almost there. In a bit, I may start on another of my Picasso's or I may just take a nap. I would like to have a set of about forty pieces from the artists that have inspired and shaped my work; it's my goal to have them done within the next 3 months.

The piece here is titled 'In my Necklace.' As you can see, it's Frida Kahlo inspired. I was fortunate enough to see some of her pieces at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art back in 1996. I want to chronicle the process of how I begin and end one of my Little Girls. Here is the first step; it's a very basic sketch which is why it's so light. Later on today, I will darken and tweak the image before I trace it.

OMG! I'm yawning and falling asleep as I'm writing. Jason and I had another long night. We went out to The Highlands and saw some very inspiring dance performances. Carmit and Dante rocked it out!

Oh well, I can't keep my eyes open. I will get some rest. May you all have a beautiful Saturday day.
