the journey is the destination

Have been having a bit of a go at this oil painting [in between daughter and g'son cavorting around]
Also have started three [count them!] Altered Books. 
One is a kiddies book Are You My Mother [lots of undercurrants there]  next is a 1930s advice little hardback called Hints and Wrinkles [ housework and dog defleaing] and the last is a facsimile of A Notebook  by Rothko - The Artist's Reality, Philosophies of Art [lots of opportunities for iconoclasm and pontificating as the mood takes me.
So far all I have achieved is to Gesso out some pages so I can doodle .................still it's a start.
