Progression of Dean's FireWire Surfboard

 My love and I

I'm going to document the gradual progression of my husband Dean's Firewire surfboard.  Not sure when I'll stop, as the more I do the more he wants. Perhaps I'll take it to the waxed area midway.  Sanded board, clean hands and arms are a MUST! I'm using paint pens by Posta, mostly the extra fine point black.  Have rubbing alcohol and cotton balls on hand for quick swipes if pen leaks (or if your child comes up with their fingers and leaves a smudge).  The board needs to remain CLEAN. 

Since my family's impromptu camping trip, my website launch has been delayed. Here's some overview pics for those interested collectors until I get a more user friendly gallery up.

New Works

 FINISHED. 36x36x1.5 finished edges no need to frame. Part 2 of my telephone poll series. Title to come. This will be in Gallery Expo's Black and White Show for the month of June

                             WORK IN PROGRESS. Close up of center. Large 48x48. Heavy impasto

                                 I have to let each layer of the figure dry before laying down another layer. A piece like this teaches me a bit of patience!

                         When I'm done it will project about an inch from the canvas. Bold, simple. A statement piece!
