And the most overused acronym on the web is...

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

ok LOL might be the most used acronym... whatever.

I think I discovered what I'm doing with the ginormous 3 x 4 ft panel I have here...

And by 'discovered' I mean I know what I'm doing and also that the idea came out of nowhere during a nap.

It's going to be super cute.

And this is the part where I revert back to my super secretive self and don't fill you in on it.

Sorry.

But soon, though. Real soon.

It's so adorable that you will cry. Just cry your freakin' eyes out. And also wish you could live inside the painting.  At least that is what I feel at the moment (if that gives you any idea what this painting could possibly be about)

Happy New Year

A new addition to the family

This fabulous book 
is the newest addition to my library.  My fabulous boyfriend got it for me for Christmas!

I should be starting a new painting soon and will try to post updates :)
Happy Holidays

:)

Oh, boy!

Somebody was impatient after the box arrived today, and decided that today was Christmas.  This worked out well since I happened to buy his present today... just in time I suppose.
One of my books was this, which I had wanted. Hooray!
In other news, my blank panels are singing their siren song to me, that and my amazing ability to procrastinate into all hours of the night is making it hard to prepare for finals... a paper, two presentations and two exams... eek.  This isn't made any easier by the fact that one of my presentations is over an extremely gifted artist whom I'm absolutely in love with. So, once I start working on my presentation I find myself side tracked by looking through his gallery and then certain works remind me of other artists and thus the cycle continues...
I did make some progress today. I FINALLY SHIPPED THE PAINTING! It has many 'fragile' stamps on it and hopefully survives... unfortunately pickens were slim so I had to resort to an envelope. cross your fingers, everybody.
No pretty pictures, no progress on paintings, nothing. Sorry. Soon, my pretties, soon. Once Wednesday is over with... We can only hope...

Waiting is no fun

Both of those are gessoed now, the big one is 36x48 inches. I really, really want to start working on them. Problem: what do I do? Perhaps I'll experiment with a self portrait of sorts on the smaller one, something my professor suggested. And I'll be following in Rembrandt's footsteps that way. Who doesn't like Rembrandt? (If you have no idea who I am talking about, here is a link to some things of his. Not having any idea about one of my most favorite artists may result in me disowning you... Rembrandt! )

I have a feeling that the GINORMOUS panel will be my senior final project. My friend Mallory had a canvas that size for her final last year. Having something so grand as that seems to be appropriate for a project such as that.

Other updates:
Winnings will be sent out Friday. (Because that is when I will be shipping Christmas presents!)

er... I guess that was all.
