I'm trying to pay more attention to my drawing in my painting, if that makes sense. I remember when I was in art school majoring in drawing, and the day in class I found that it was not the contour line of the figure or the shading, but some space in between that represented "relationship" that I saw. Like lost-and-found edges. And this I had the power to control, which was where your eye moved through the drawing. I have always looked at my picture as a way to tell a story by means of a journey with your eyes down a road, up a path or over a bridge......don't quote me on this, but my picture is a map. So, in your composition you are setting up, through shapes, color, value and line a journey. I prefer a pleasant journey and I do this through color harmony, subject matter and value contrasts to name a few. A little tension is good, too. I'm working on the rage thing!

Very nice, Kathryn! Love both the sketch and the painting!
I love all your paintings and this sketch too. I just wish that I could use color like you do. JB
Thank you, Julia. How are all those babies? I will visit you tonight. I love your hooking.
I just found your blog and am so glad! Your work is beautiful and I love your style.
Kathryn...... I love everything you're doing! Sorry I haven't checked in lately. I've been hooking like crazy trying to get this large rug done. Today my mom is having a tiny art show where she is living. For years she did Ukrainian eggs (pysanky). Don't know if you're familiar with the process, done with wax and dyes. Hers are fabulous! She can no longer do this, but has been drawing constantly, so we're going to show both.
I want to ask you something, will write again later.

Very nice! I don't know anything about painting but I love Black and White things such as old photos. I really love your sketch!
Hi Kathryn, you were inquiring about my babies. First my grandson is doing terrific an is gaining weight and is a bundle of joy, Next, about my calves. All my older calves have been moved in larger pens and although I usually have many small calves, I only have one at the present. I still care for the bigger one too but the work is less tedious. Happy Easter. JB
