It's been a few weeks since my last post. Despite receiving a HUGE box of canvases from Dick Blick, I haven't had much time to work. I've also felt quite a creative block lately. Hopefully the block will end soon because I purchased some new pictures on eBay and just received them last week. The auction I won was an antique photo album from the late 1800's to the 1930's. Most of the 140 photos are military families, but there are also some really neat pictures of women in swimming suits from that era. Very cool!
I'm heading back home for Thanksgiving. While I'm home, I am going to borrow an art fair canopy from a friend to bring back to Kansas City for a few weeks. I'll make an attempt at building a booth to shoot so I can consider applying for a few local art shows.
My plan while at home - besides enjoying my family - is to raid my dad's attic for old family photos. I've been paying too much for family photos of people that aren't even related to me. I'm sure that I can scrounge up some cool pitcures of a few distant relatives.
The piece included in this post includes one of my favorite photos. I love their outfits as well as their hairstyles. It's a small 6x6 piece, but I like it's simplicity.
Until next time...Happy Thanksgiving!
