Baby steps

   I got started on the baby today and changed the direction of the mom's thumb. I was laughing at myself, because one of my favorite things to do is to adjust form with line, working with positive and negative space. I teach my students that concept, but after they get it, I try to steer them away from being too dependent on line and use value to define forms instead. That goes right out the window where my own work is concerned.

    I still haven't solved my background color issue. I think Blogger would really like it if I abandoned this old design and adopt one of their templates. I'll probably wind up doing that, but I have a feeling some things won't be easy to customize.
