<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWow, I can see I have to get more consistent lighting…but you get the general idea of what Mary Ann added. As of this point, the four blocks piece is more interesting to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and here is what I sent back to Mary Ann (undated DG)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAt this point, I was really struggling with what to add. I liked the four block piece a lot better than the curved lines piece…so I copied Mary Ann’s work and made two continuing pieces of the curved lines…one original and one copy with added media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So now Mary Ann had three pieces to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and here is what I got back from Mary Ann (dated 3\/10\/21 MAL). The mail is very erratic between Raleigh and Dallas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first piece of three that we had in progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>Black and Blue and Red <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n I really liked this as is, so I declared it finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other two pieces she sent were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\nI was beginning to warm to the piece with “ghosts”…but I wasn’t sure where to go with the second piece with more abstract lines. I couldn’t see anything shaping up there. I am curious what Mary Ann was thinking about that second piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I added some fake gold leaf and then sent these pieces back to her (dated 3\/23\/21 DG):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSo when Mary Ann received the pieces, I think she thought….the progress is too slow for my tastes so she sent me an email and asked if she should go big…and I said Please, Go Big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is what I received back from her (dated 3\/29\/21 MAL). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOk, she did go big. In a variety of ways. I loved the tree looking down at the ghosts, in the first piece. And she turned the curves and lines piece vertical and added a few small items of color…and eye and and a sandal she said. I loved the pieces. She kickstarted them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I touched up the Ghosts and the Tree piece…and thought that was finished. But I saw a woman in the curves and straight lines piece so I added arms, hair and a nose to the body…and called that one complete too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So after completing our first Airmail Art Project, Mary Ann asked not to start with something so finished for our second project. So I thought, OK, I will put a minimum of a few pencil drawn lines or shapes on card stock and send them off.
