The latest changes have been challenging - working on the tractor details. There was a lot left undone on this panel and there's still a ways to go. But, I'm off to a good start (if I do say so myself).
The other night, I worked on the driver for quite a while - trying to get the scale right and the appearance of a figure within a glass enclosure. The struggle here was that I don't have a visual to work from - no photo to check my details. But, I like the way it's turning out so far...after a few "not" likes.
One thing that I couldn't wait to change was the plowed soil in the foreground. I had originally put in more precise rows, but I didn't care for the rigidity of it. When I did the tractor study and was a bit more carefree about the landscape, I liked the loose brush strokes and wanted to go more in that direction. I think the result is in between - there are still rows, but the edges are less defined.

It’s that time of the year again. It is finally starting to get cold (if you are worried about the global warming maybe you should become carbon-neutral) and the New Oxford American Dictionary is preparing for the holidays by making its biggest announcement of the year. The 2007 Word of the Year is (drum-roll please) locavore.
The past year saw the popularization of a trend in using locally grown ingredients, taking advantage of seasonally available foodstuffs that can be bought and prepared without the need for extra preservatives.
The “locavore” movement encourages consumers to buy from farmers’ markets or even to grow or pick their own food, arguing that fresh, local products are more nutritious and taste better. Locavores also shun supermarket offerings as an environmentally friendly measure, since shipping food over long distances often requires more fuel for transportation. (more…)
