...working...

Well, still no new paintings to posts on here. But I'm trying to work on some things and get them done soon. I've one painting in process and another that I just want to start. I just picked a new canvas this week so once I get the image drawn out I'll be starting that. I'm anxious to get them both done, it just finding the time to do them that's difficult.

I'm hoping once I finish a few things tomorrow afternoon I can paint for a good part of the evening. I'll have to just really get focused tomorrow and not let anything distract me. Except for maybe some lunch and dinner!

The Honeywell Reception went well. I didn't know that they were going to call us up front to get our rewards. As soon as I found out I started shaking a bit. It was fine just a little nerve-racking. Of course they pronounced my name wrong but I got over it quickly. I better get used to that I supposed, but I'm still not even used to being called by that name when it is pronounced correctly.

Wishing I had Adobe Illustrator on my Mac right about now. It would make so many things so much easier! And I would probably have more time during the day to paint if I didn't have to always be going to the Mac Lab. Oh well, someday maybe. :)

an update...

Well, I don't have any new pieces to post yet. Although, I am working on one currently and I just got permission from someone to take a few photos and paint them. Now I just need the right size canvas to complete the idea in my head! I can't wait to get started though.

I have been up writing a paper that was due last week. It slipped my mind, but the prof is cool enough to be forgiving to all of us who still haven't turned it in yet...no I'm not the only one. I'm writing about the different styles of Michelangelo, Donatello, Verrocchio and Gianlorenzo Bernini and how they used that style to create their own unique sculptures of David. I'm pretty excited about it but I won't go into details now.

The senior show went extremely well. It was a packed house but that was alright for all of us that were in the show. We had fun and enjoyed to talking to people who came to see our work. I'm itching to be in more shows now! Looking forward to the Honeywell Reception next week and planning to enter a few more shows in the upcoming weeks/months!

Spring Break is next week and I'm hoping to get a lot of work done. Maybe in a couple of weeks I'll have at least one more work to post and show to everyone!
