I'm not going to write much, just posting up a small recently finished piece. I just built a stretcher for a 4' x 6' canvas, and I have a 3' x 4' board and a couple more small ones so I'm going to have a few things going at a time.


I think this one started as a map of Dublin, Ireland but I can't remember for sure. If so I find it somewhat funny that the one of Florence started on red/pink and Dublin started on green. Not intentional though.

I am so not made for blogging it would seem. I have one mostly maybe finished painting that I will put up and the beginning of a new one that I'll put up as well, though it isn't very far. I don't think I'm super happy with either of them, especially not the second one but I'm much farther on it than this photo I'm going to put up. Also, these are both taken with my cell phone. Tomorrow I'll try to remember my camera when I go to the studio so I can take some better photos.


I actually thought I had a better photo than this but it was an earlier one. So after this one (the first official painting of the semester! Yay!), my professor suggested I look at some people and use their color palettes instead of trying to come up with my own. That's how I ended up on the one I'm on, and might be why I hate it so much.


Haha! I don't even know if there's a point in putting this up right now since it's so early on. Oh well, it's up. I much farther along in this painting and I'll probably put up another progress shot tomorrow. Hopefully I'll hate it a little less tomorrow.

Epic blog upkeep fail. How long has it been since I've posted? A couple of weeks I think. I don't have anything very exciting to post today, just thought I'd let the internet know that I didn't fall of the face of the Earth or anything. Classes started this past Wednesday so very soon I should be posting some newer and slightly more exciting things. However, right now all I've got is some photos of the studio.


A sad old paint covered computer on a sad old paint covered  table.

My area! Fully equipped with computer, microwave, and mini fridge (shared with others of course).
The rest of the studio, well half of the rest of the studio. There's even plants!
