Brr! Isn't it supposed to be spring? 

I am practicing drawing and painting Oaxacan patterns.

 I have a collection of the little wooden critters from Mexico.

I don't have a very steady hand and I am in awe of the tiny details the Oaxacan artists create.

 I made these a few years ago. Recently pulled them and and touched them up. Each one is a board with a riot of found objects glued on. Spraying it black unifies the composition.

The technique reminds me of Louise Nevelson's work.

Here is one by itself.
