Axe Women as the day goes/ Axe Women all night long

Axe Women, Flying Hats and the Late Night Easel


The late night easel, I'm doing double duty these days, trying to write the books or do notes and edits from eight in the morning until noon and then breaking and painting down in the studio until it's time to crash. Here's what's on the board right now (top left) beginning block in for a new Axe Girl, (top right) an old damaged flying hat painting that I'm using as a refresher for the new hats, (bottom left) current Axe Girl Block In and (bottom right) a dinged up canvas that I'm using as a palette. Behind this stuff is a large 18x36 that I hope to start blocking in on Friday.
I was going to take the rest of August just to write but I'd like to get a head start on twelve block ins just so I feel I won't be completely in the long grasses when September begins.
