took books and dvds back to library - in shopping trolly - art books so big and heavy - unfortunately found lots more and carried full trolley back home. One was on artist Eric Fischl, an american artist i had never heard of. It wasn't so much his style of painting people but how he set them in the environment that has given me ideas. On his website he has a section on works on paper including glassines which as i found out is simple the transparent archiving sheets that go between photos or works of art. So it's just like drawing on tracy paper, tissue paper or baking paper - all of which i collect with intention of doing something with them as i like their texture It's kind of like drawing on each layer in photoshop and seeing thru them all. the link below is to his glassine drawings.

also on his site is watercolour paintings of people - it encourages me because i think i have done a few that aren't too bad compared to these, though i do like the one i've included here.
