New and Exciting Update! (Sorry, No Pictures)

Let's see... I finished my last day of modeling in Joel's class. So because of that I'm approx. 140 dollars closer to being out from under my student loan debt! Shouldn't be too big of a deal, only $30,000 to pay off! :)

Afterward, I decided to go do some sketching, I chose the William Jewell family cemetery.  It was small and pretty, also very, very quiet.  I found a nice spot to sit in the shade and started sketching this grave marker when all of these ants started attacking me.  Here I am, minding my own business, being quiet and sketching and they send ants after me. What hospitality!  Or, instead of blaming that on the dead, I suppose it could have been because I was sitting almost on top of the colony... either way it was very unpleasant and my sketch didn't get finished.  Right now I'm too lazy to fetch everything I need to upload pictures of it, but they will be up eventually.

And, instead of starting a new painting, I have decided to revisit Larry.  The one with the four-color pallet.  I am so much more pleased with it now than i was before. I'd keep looking at it and looking at it and just felt this unhappiness in my stomach. But now that's gone and it's almost fixed.  Also coming up, updates of the studio self portrait and possibly a finished landscape! Someday I'll also get back to the portrait of David. Someday.

So, that was the update for you three faithful readers.
Hope you enjoyed it.
