Taking Shape



I first had the idea when I was pulled into the Flickr world. Not sure if I ever mentioned it or not. Then it came back to me after receiving the best Christmas gift ever. Again, I let it sit. Late last month I purchased some supplies needed for what’s in my head.. Then about a week or so later I pulled up to find my neighbor trying to place a very large (almost mammoth) board of plywood onto the top of her car. I inquired if she needed help and what exactly the hell she was doing. She was donating it to a local art store and no sooner did the words leave her lips did my idea take on a much lager image in my dome. “I’ll take it and save you the trip”. “Really”? She replied with a smirk of relief. So now I begin the process. The random here and there of the past months is behind. I know now this is better, I need this. If you take these words and consolidate them to one simple statement, “This is the shit I need to be doing”.

The Board




Tonight I was able to put the primer to my board. I had hoped to do more but the light faded too quickly. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to add color to it. Then it will be time to paint my frames and select the images I will use. A little progress is better than none.
