to distract you with something shiny....
May. 21st, 2005 11:16 amI give you....

My First Oil Painting, approx. 2' x 3'
It's a "close-enough" copy of this.
The more I look, the more I see what needs fixing. But for now, she's going in my bedroom.
Detail.
Huh...it's much better looking in person. Ah well, I'm still amazed that I could do that, never having used oils before. Now I'm hooked. I'm taking Painting II in the summer...and I'm quitting one of my jobs to do it.
Also picking up my Holga pics (from San Fran) today. And Eric and I have decided to take Photo I at the Lawrence Arts Center. I've called my possible investor for the coffee shop, just waiting for a return phone call. I might have 2 other photo jobs lined up. I need to buy Photoshop Elements (can't afford CS right now) and do various other photo-related tasks before the wedding next month. I'm looking into volunteer vacations for the end of the year and I got an A+ on my art review notebook...my prof also said that it was "deeply felt and beautiful writing". Things are going well, all except that one thing...and that's okay.
