I'm in the process of making these small pieces and it's sort of like an assembly line production. The focal points on them are hand painted faces and then they are collaged on similar mixed-media backgrounds.
My ironing board sets up against a daylight basement wall and right above the board is a six-inch ledge and a window. You can see Abby at the end of the ironing board looking out the window. We are having a terrifically horrible windy day (gusts from 40 to 50 mph). My house sounds like it wants to blow away. So Abby is watching leaves and other debris blow by.
