A lot of progress on the Kickstarter. It's fully funded! Some progress made on Triple Play edits, though Cat in the Bakery 2 hasn't moved forward much in the last week. I'm hoping to change that in the coming week though.

![Sometimes things sit around the studio on easels, tables, or propped up along a wall or other surface, for a [hopefully short] period of time, until we're able determine what else is needed to finish them. Other times they get tucked away like a lost treasure awaiting the joy of their discoverer when they resurface at last! This sketchbook had been on an easel, since sometime last year, opened to a different page; but, we recently flipped through to rediscover this started composition. In total there are about four to five uncompleted works in this pad that need 'a little more' to be completed!
Artist's Statement / Backstory: This piece started as a pen [Sharpie Ultra Fine Point to be exact] and ink on watercolor paper. I was doodling with some different techniques that I like to use and revisiting some that I'd not worked with in a long while... I left the piece alone for a while until I decided it needed some watercolor washes to enhance some of the areas. I began layering in some washes in the way in which I wanted to divide areas of the composition and then stopped. As of today, I'm no longer able to recall what I needed to focus my attention on; but, I know that this piece got lost to time. One day in the near future I'll sit and work to complete the incomplete pieces in this sketchbook and you'll be able to see this finished artwork with more watercolor, oil pastel, colored pencil, and/or marker!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5m64ly2e37c6uhrukospoqd/bafkreib4psujxgbi4arg5rgpwlshbbvdslfa7ra3x6b5gfptbnfzsdfj7e)
![Working Wednesday!
Today we're sharing two WIPs or Works-In-Progress, as opposed to a completed artwork, for "Working Wednesday!" These two artworks were started right around the beginning of this calendar year and will need a lot more work before they're ready to be presented as finished compositions. The one on the left of the photograph is a 16x20" canvas covered in various types of paper, some acrylic paint, and a few other found objects before the paint had begun to be layered on. The one on the right in the photograph is a 10x10" canvas with the textured areas being created completely from dried and/or layered acrylic paint.
Artist's Statement / Backstory: I've been working with adding textured elements to many of the artworks I create and people seem to respond really positively to them and/or are inquisitive about my artistic process. For 2026, I wanted to start the year revisiting the two different ways I've achieved textured elements in the past before experimenting to see what else may be possible! When I begin working on heavily textured pieces, I always seem to find that the composition goes in a completely different direction than what I was first intending. Even when planning and laying the pieces out, what actually winds up occurring in the end, looks far different! I think that adds to my enjoyment in creating pieces such as these!
Thanks for sharing your lunch break [or whenever you're reading this] with us! We'll soon be heading back to work in the studio and hope that your 'Working Wednesday' is going well!!! Stay tuned later this year when I'm sure these pieces will one day be featured as completed artworks!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5m64ly2e37c6uhrukospoqd/bafkreietuf4xhlyucpyvf2w3zg4s4tbyrnlo3br62fqvidpv56ltxlplse)
