Brush Giveaway Winner

So great to hear from all of you - your brush habits, other cleaning tips, etc.  Thanks for commenting and entering the brush giveaway drawing.  THE WINNER IS.... Diann S. Verrette, chosen at random.  Diann, it's your job now to e-mail me with your mailing address so I can send you the brushes.

Meanwhile, starting tomorrow I will be at a five-day intensive drawing workshop with North Country Studio Workshops, held at Bennington College.  The teacher is Leonard Ragouzeos.  Read about the workshop here.  Apparently, we'll be doing a lot with India ink on Yupo.  And two mornings of figure drawing.  This is definitely out of my comfort zone, and I am looking forward to the stretch.  I took an encaustic workshop at NCSW two years ago, which you can read about here.

And only because I can't do a post without a picture, I'll post a little progress from my series that started as deli paper prints:

This one I liked better a few stages back, but you can only go forward.  So I'll see where I can take it from here.

This one seems close to done, but we'll see.

Not much to say about this one... still in its adolescent awkward stage.

THANKS for visiting my blog!  And congratulations to Diann.  I'll include a little surprise with the brushes.
