For a explanation of this...see the end of the post.

Life is funny.
I think someone up there is having fun messing with me.
But I'll ride along with it...who am I to fight the powers that be?
In other News...here are the latest from my painting class. These are color studies and the three that are a little abstract are supposed to be that way. We were not allowed to "paint the figure" only the colors around it. But i think I'm coming along...slowly but surely.








This is the first of my color studies...just making as many different shades as possible.
















This is the second...a little more deconstructed. ------->















In this one more of the figure is apparent



















This is the only black and white one from this week that i actually liked, another light study.

This is my favorite of the group because for one sitting we were simply given room to paint what we saw. The model is Bill, oil on gesso brown paper.












And one last comment to make...I was reading someone else's blog today and the picture posted up top of this entry was posted. I miss that time too...because it was the beginning and it was fun. I miss that a lot...almost as much as I miss how those cards would fall and leave holes.
